A blowout NFL score between the New York Jets and New England Patriots probably helped in that regard, as did the tease of a mystery partner or friend for The Street Profits. (Note: A PWTorch backstage source confirmed that Kevin Owens was at Raw all evening and his late appearance during the main event wasn&#8217;t a product of being late to the building due to travel issues.)<\/p>\n<p>Raw one year ago drew a 1.74 rating, two years ago drew a 2.03 rating, and three years ago drew a 2.01 rating.<\/p>\n<p>In the 18-49 demographic, Raw finished in positions 5, 6, and 7 among all cables show on Monday night, behind not just the NFL game on ESPN, plus the pre-show and post-show, but also TLC&#8217;s &#8220;90 Day Fiance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2906422610\"><div id=\"pwtor-3395995745\"><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>WWE Raw last night on USA Network among live and same-night-DVR viewership drew a 1.63 rating, down from last week&#8217;s 1.72 rating for the special draft edition.
