The drop-off of 204,000 from the first to the third hour of use 204,000 is the lowest since Apr. 23 and almost 50 percent less than the 395,000 average drop-off this year.<\/p>\n<p>One year ago this week, Raw popped a 2.04 rating, well above the 1.75 from the week before. Two years ago this week, Raw drew a 2.28 rating.<\/p>\n<p>Last night&#8217;s episode featured a Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor main event, plus an appearance by Ronda Rousey, and Roman Reigns returned and wrestled after taking last week off.<\/p>\n<p>The average for May was 1.86.
