Hour 1- 4.50 million
Hour 2- 4.68 million
Hour 3- 4.47 million

Average: 4.55 million

If I'm not mistaken, Punk's match and promo was in hour 2. Therefore, Punk>everyone. The end.

(he was in the second hour too yeah?)

Edit: Third hour

[The GOAT One]

Flair was in 3rd hour.

Punk takes over hour 3 last week, and takes over hour 2 this week.

CM GOAT.

Fail.

lol ignorance.

Cause a 3.5 a decade ago is totally the same thing today. And smackdown is obviously the same as a decade ago. Obviously, it is still 2003, I forgot. Stupidity really annoys me.

Bringing up ratings from roughly a decade ago doesn't legitimize your point.

3.24. The most watched RAW since RAW 1000.

The 20th Anniversary of WWE Raw on Monday, January 14 scored a 3.24 rating, up one-tenth from last week's 3.14 rating for The Rock's return. Last week's Raw faced the BCS National Title game; this week was the first Raw unopposed by football in five months.

- Raw averaged 4.55 million viewers, which was up three percent from an average of 4.42 million viewers last week.

However, the Viewership Drop-Off returned. The third hour was the least-watched hour of the show, drawing slightly fewer viewers than the first hour in the new timeslot.

But, in the demographic ratings, the third hour was the highest rated among key males for Ric Flair's TV appearance, John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler in the cage, and the Rock Concert.

Hourly Break Down: 4.50 million first hour viewers, peak of 4.68 million second hour viewers, and a five percent drop-off to 4.47 million third hour viewers.

It marks 24 out of 26 Raw episodes during the three-hour era where third hour viewership has declined from the second hour.

- On cable TV Monday night, Raw ranked #1 in overall viewers and in the key male demos, removing football from the competition.

In the week-to-week demos, Raw was up slightly compared to last week. The biggest increase was one-tenth among males 18-49, which reached the highest rating since August 27.

^ so you bold the key demo? I don't think I have ever heard you bring up the key demo before. But, since it benefits your heroes, you try and bring it to light?

Key demo is THE only thing that matters when correlating ratings to revenue, find it funny though you never mention it til now, tho.

DAT ROCK NOT BRINGING IN DEM VIEWERS FOR HOUR 3

Still doing good business though. RAW was sold out last night and the week before, and the overall rating is up.

And he's still a lot more relevant and entertaining than your Dear leader Punk.

Not surprised to see the ratings are the highest since RAW 1000. Considering last night was more or less a normal RAW episode (with the Rock in the last 10 minutes) I'd be shocked if they remained anywhere near that high next week. They really misused the 20th anniversary, it could've been a big show with a lot of nice cameos and fun matches, segments, etc. Instead... nothing really happened and nothing really progressed. Aside from Punk/Rock at the end a bit.
