This week&#8217;s rating &#8211; representing live and same-night-DVR viewership &#8211; was down from last week&#8217;s &#8220;season premiere&#8221; episode of Raw, which drew a 1.78 rating.<\/p>\n<p>The Hell in a Cell backlash could have helped or hurt the rating; either people were disgruntled and frustrated with WWE and skipped Raw as a result or they were intrigued with how WWE would handle it and thus tuned in. Either way, the rating didn&#8217;t seem greatly fazed either way.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 2.443 million viewers. It dropped from there to 2.330 million viewers and 2.230 million viewers the next two hours. That&#8217;s a first-to-third hour drop-off of 213,000, below the 305,000 average drop-off this year.<\/p>\n<p>One year ago this week, Raw drew a 1.97 rating. Two years ago this week, it drew a 1.93 rating. Three years ago this week, it drew a 1.93 rating also.<\/p>\n<p>In the key 18-49 adult demographic, Raw dropped to 5, 6, and 9 in the weekly rankings, falling behind not only the ESPN Monday Night Football game along with the ESPN pre-show and post-show, but also the MLB Playoff game. TLC&#8217;s &#8220;90 Day Fiance&#8221; and another MLB Playoff game also beat Raw&#8217;s third hour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/10\/07\/smackdown-ratings-final-demographic-numbers-comparison-to-last-week-and-year-ago-media-heralding-first-week-performance\/\">WWE Friday Night Smackdown on Fox Ratings: Final demographic numbers, comparison to last week and year-ago, media heralding first-week performance<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-660472263\"><div id=\"pwtor-2956278234\"><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>Raw received no bump from the surge in viewership last week&#8217;s Friday Night Smackdown experienced, draping to a 1.65 rating, below the ten-week rolling average headed into this week of 1.73.
