[The GOAT One]

Not bad numbers considering they were going ONE ON ONE with NFL.

[Choke2Death]

Certainly an improvement over last week.

Not good, but as said not terrible given the circumstances.

Although tbh, I would've actually thought hour 3 would be given a boost with what happened to Lawler as people would tune in to hear any update on him after what happened. I know after reading on the forums about it (since I wasn't paying attention to the the stuff between when it happened and Cole finishing his first update on the matter) I was staying tuned in to hear any possible update on his condition and hoping he'd be okay.

Social Media score was up though and was number 1 on cable, so I'd at least think what happened to Lawler greatly contributed to that.

But besides that, and the lower numbers than usual, it's the same ordinary story. Hour 2 does the best, hour 3 second best, and hour 1 the worst... though I think hour 1 was better than hour 3 last week, but not sure.

Last year the very same Raw got a 2.7. So its an improvement over last year at least

WWE Raw on Monday, September 10 scored a 2.88 rating against Week 1 of ESPN's Monday Night Football coverage. The rating was up slightly from a 2.83 rating last week.

The standard two-hour Raw rating was a 2.98, up from a 2.85 rating for the two-hour block last week due to a stronger third hour with viewers tuning in for updates on Jerry Lawler's health.

- Raw averaged 4.14 million viewers, down two percent from 4.20 million viewers on Labor Day Monday last week. Hourly Break Down:

8:00 p.m. EST: 3.77 million viewers, which was the fewest first hour viewers during the three-hour Raw era. The first hour was down 12 percent compared to last week's first hour.

9:00 p.m. EST: 4.36 million viewers, which was slightly down from 4.40 million second hour viewers last week.

10:00 p.m. EST: 4.27 million viewers as viewers gravitated toward Raw for updates on Jerry Lawler's health. This was up from 3.91 million viewers in last week's third hour, but three percent below the final hour average in the three-hour era.

- On cable TV Monday night, Raw ranked #3 in overall viewers behind the NFL and "Major Crimes" on TNT, #2 on in all key demographics behind the NFL, and ranked #1 among male teens. About four times as many males 18-49 watched NFL compared to Raw.

- Last year's Raw against Week 1 of the NFL scored a 2.71 rating for the standard two-hour block.

HEART ATTACKS = RATINGZ~!!!!

Sorry, I just had to, lol.

Bret and Lawler probably helped a lot. Bret and the awesome energy and ovation the audience gave him at the start and people wanting to hear any new updates on King's condition. I imagine that the next SD rating is going to be bigger than usual. But yeah, this 2.9 is the sky for them today, I actually expected a 2.6 before Bret was announced.

Bret Hart's first appearance on TV in Montreal brought in tons of viewers, including myself. Cena and Punk also did a fantastic job building up their feud.
