Last week&#8217;s rating was up against a marquee highly rated Monday Night Football on ESPN, which drew a monster 16.610 million viewers. This week&#8217;s football game came back to Earth with 9.735 million viewers, but Raw didn&#8217;t get a boost even with 7 million extra viewers floating out there who watched football last week.<\/p>\n<p>Raw finished behind ESPN&#8217;s NFL coverage (pre-show, game, post-show) and VH1&#8217;s &#8220;Love and Hip Hope&#8221; among the key 18-49 demographic, drawing ratings of 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7 each progressive hour, <a href=\"https:\/\/tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com\/daily-ratings\/monday-cable-ratings-november-26-2018\/\">according to TVByTheNumbers<\/a>. Hourly viewership was 2.612 million, 2.382 million, and 2.111 million. The first-to-third hour drop-off was 501,000, above the 397,000 average drop-off the last ten weeks.<\/p>\n<p>One year ago this week Raw drew a 1.97 rating; two years ago this week Raw drew a 2.21 rating. WWE may have settled into a new low level with a rang of 1.63-1.74 the last ten weeks. It was 12 weeks ago the last time Raw drew a rating above 1.80. Last year, Raw didn&#8217;t drop below 1.80 only three times.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST REVIEWING THIS EPISODE OF RAW&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by cohost Zack Heydorn from PWTorch to discuss WWE Monday Night Raw from Los Angeles, Calif. including two on-site reporters along with live callers and a lot of mailbag feedback on Dolph Ziggler challenging Seth Rollins, the promos from Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey, Baron Corbin dominating with his power, Alexa Bliss&#8217;s new role, and much more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100px;\" src=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/embed\/player\/t127304293\/\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">-On Tune In Radio <a href=\"http:\/\/tun.in\/tiQsK7\">HERE<\/a><br \/>\n-On Apple Podcasts <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-show\/id1340490567?mt=2\">HERE<\/a><br \/>\n-Or <strong>search &#8220;Wade Keller&#8221;<\/strong> on your podcast app of choice<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/11\/27\/11-26-wwe-raw-on-site-report-what-happened-off-camera-in-milwaukee-crowd-reactions-main-event-tv-taping-dark-match\/\">11\/26 WWE Raw On-Site Report: What happened off-camera in Milwaukee, crowd reactions, Main Event TV taping, dark match<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-206541388\"><div id=\"pwtor-476076738\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week&#8217;s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw (Nov. 26) on USA Network drew a 1.68 rating among live and same-night-DVR viewers.
