WWE RAW Rating Down Significantly From Last Week

Last night's episode of RAW did a 3.08 rating with 4.495 million viewers. It was down 25% in viewers from last week's show, although a drop was expected due to the Olympics and last week's show being the much-hyped 1,000th episode.

The first hour of last night's show did a 2.8 rating with 4.064 million viewers, while the second garnered a 3.2 rating with 4.719 million viewers. The rating increased slightly in the third hour while viewers tapered off, as the final hour of the show drew a 3.3 rating with 4.701 million viewers.

Last week's 1,000th episode of RAW scored a 3.84 rating with 6.019 million viewers. The two-hour episode the week before (on July 16th) did a 3.44 rating with 4.879 million viewers.
