RATINGS BREAKDOWN FOR THIS WEEKS RAW 4/9

Raw on 4/9 did a 3.10 rating and 4.29 million viewers. The show was third for the night on cable. The show did a 2.4 in Males 12-17, 2.7 in Males 18-49, 1.0 in Girls 12-17 and 1.1 in Women 18-49 with a 69.3% male skew. It was down 21% from the 5.46 million viewers of the week after Mania show last year, and last year there was no bombshell along the lines of the Brock Lesnar return on the night after Mania show.

In the segment-by-segment, Brodus Clay & Santino Marella vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger lost 99,000 viewers.

Backstage with Laurinaitis with Miz an Cena, Marella looking for the Three Stooges and R-Truth vs. Cody Rhodes gained 255,000 viewers.

Lord Tensai vs. Yoshi Tatsu lost 415,000 viewers.

The mic work between C.M. Punk and Chris Jericho in the top of the hour segment gained 379,000 viewers to a 3.19.

Punk vs. Henry and the post-match with Jericho pouring beer all over Punk, as well as the quick Del Rio vs. Ryder match lost 169,000 viewers.

The Three Stooges in-ring segment lost 240,000 viewers and was the low point of the show at 2.90.

The Brock Lesnar interview gained 423,000 viewers.

And the Cena vs. Otunga match with Lesnar run-in gained 301,000 viewers, which is a very weak overrun number, finishing at 3.42.

How is he wasting his money? The alien invasion is coming. How are we going to kill the aliens when they land? :p

They should book Orton vs Aliens when they land, that's gonna draw RATINGZZZZZZZZZ~!!!! Orton is at his home, shooting them as they come and it's an Ironman match. Ends with Orton running towards the arena Raw is being taped at and that's when the pistols come in handy. :D

End rating will probably be 20.7 which sets the new record!

It IS in the status quo and has been that way since last year's SummerSlam, with slight 'changes' being made for the Road to Wrestlemania but we all knew that was temporary. If the "big" storyline right now is some whiny douchebag crying about not getting respect, then I feel sorry for the writers. What a HUGE storyline, right?

Big jump from hour 1 last week to hour 1 this week. Nice jump from hour 2 last week to hour 2 this week. Good little bump for hour 3 too. I suspect the overrun got at or around 5 million based off that number which is always nice. The fallout of Summerslam is obviously the reason for the bump in hour 1 imo. Pretty alright numbers. Breakdown should be a bit wacky though because the placement of this show was all over the fucking place.

Damn, Paul E and his client, the new King of Kings, The Master of the BrockTagon, MEGASTAR - BRRROOOOOOOOOOCKK LLLLESSSSSSSNNAR. Bumping that first hour. That jump surprised even me because I thought that it's a viewers habit problem, more than the content, but I guess Brock and Heyman was big enough to get their attention and 9pm as expected doing the biggest from all the fans coming to see what happened in Brock/HHH at Summerslam. Orton vs Del Rio did the peak of the show, I'm 99% sure in that.

Overall, below average numbers, hopefully the rating is not above 3.1, next week it's going back to below 3.0 anyway.

If you put Hand Henry in RATINGZ corner, Wolfpack theme and Nash on commentary burying everything? 6.0+ peak.

And fucking :lmao at The Giant video, imagine if at that time they would have done a slogan for him: "A pink world, you can see only through red eyes", put that on a pink and black nWo shirt. Record money. When you think about it, although it's not PG, they can do it for Ryback with his gimmick colorful eyes.

Heyman's promo was the fucking bomb!

The lower number for hour 3 makes me think Punk/Cena overrun didn't do so well. We'll see though. :(

Not a really great number for the night after the "second" biggsst PPV of the year. But then, Summerslam was disappointing and each segment save for one or two good ones either dragged or made NO sense. Maybe WWE is trying some abstract post modernism and I'm just not seeing they art behind it...

The Heyman promo most likely did very well.

Orton and Del Rio probably gained 500'000 for the people not tuning into the first hour and the Orton marks will all wave their dicks around saying "SEE, SEE, ORTON DRWS!".

The Kane, Ryder V Miz, DB tag match probably did very bad.

The overrun probably did well with the two top stars on Raw cutting a promo in a big overrun.

Folks are over looking the fact that WWE now have over 4 million people tune in to an extra hour regularly that neither they or the network had previously. I think they'd be pretty happy about that.

WWE Raw on Monday, August 20 the night after Summerslam scored a 3.14 rating for all three hours and 3.21 rating for the standard two hours. This was up from a 2.84 rating for all three hours last week and 2.93 rating for the standard two hours.

Despite the overall rating increasing 10 percent, Raw's key demographic ratings were flat or slightly down compared to last week's show.

- Raw averaged 4.48 million viewers, which is okay for the show after Summerslam. By comparison, last year's Raw after Summerslam averaged 5.05 million viewers for a two-hour show.

Raw followed an interesting viewership pattern with 4.35 million first hour viewers, which was easily the most of the three-hour era following Raw 1,000. Raw then peaked with 4.66 million second hour viewers. The third hour dipped to an average of 4.43 million viewers, which was within 100,000 viewers of the new first hour.

It appears viewers tuned in early for the immediate Summerslam fall-out, including Brock Lesnar's farewell, stayed tuned for Shawn Michaels's appearance addressing Triple H's teased retirement, and tuned out without an announced main event for the third hour.

- On cable TV Monday night, Raw ranked #4 in overall viewers behind NFL pre-season football on ESPN, "Pawn Stars" on History Channel, and "Major Crimes" on TNT. Raw also fell behind the season finale of "Love and Hip Atlanta" on VH1 among all adult viewers.

In the key demographics, Raw ranked #2 behind the NFL in adult males. Raw ranked #1 among younger male viewers.
