It&#8217;s the fourth rating of 1.70 or higher since the day after WrestleMania drew a 2.02.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.71 is above last month&#8217;s average 1.64 and the May average of 1.66. The average rating so far this year is 1.78. The ten week rolling average heading into this week was 1.65.<\/p>\n<p>The rating is still below the year-ago rating of 1.80 and the two-years-ago rating of 1.91.<\/p>\n<p>The first-to-third hour drop-off was a mere 123,000, one of the lowest of the year and well below the 380,000 average.
