It&#8217;s the second week up against Monday Night Football, but last week WWE advertised the return of &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin and held the show in the historic Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 2.417 million viewers, the second hour 2.319, and the third hour 2.079, with a first-to-third hour drop-off of 338,000, a little more than the average this year of 308,000. One year ago Raw drew a 1.79 rating, which was the lowest rating since early July that year. Two years ago, Raw drew a 1.93 rating, the lowest since the first episode of July. So this week it&#8217;s typical for one of the lowest ratings of the year. Coming the day after a PPV, it probably got a small boost over what it would have otherwise drawn.<\/p>\n<p>Raw&#8217;s three hours finished in positions 5, 6, and 7 in the cable rankings of 18-49 year old viewers, behind not only ESPN&#8217;s NFL game along with the pre-show and post-show, but also &#8220;90 Day Fiance&#8221; Other Way&#8221; on TLC, which drew 2.673 million viewers, beating each hour of Raw, and a 0.8 rating in the key 18-49 demo, tied with Raws first and second hour. The third hour dropped to a 0.6 key demo rating. The NFL game, by comparison, drew a 4.1 rating in the key demo. The NFL pre-show drew a 2.0 key demo rating. Two programs on Fox News outdrew Raw in total viewers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3510021154\"><div id=\"pwtor-2229961371\"><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>The Sept. 16 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 1.64 rating among live and same-night-DVR viewers, down from last week&#8217;s 1.71 and the lowest rating since June 17.
