Last night’s Raw brought in an average of 3,049,000 viewers, down from last week’s 3,232,000 viewers.
That is the lowest Raw rating since 1997 for a show not going up against a major sports event (NFL game, NBA playoffs, or the Olympics), according to Dave Meltzer. The previous low was actually just back on February 13, which did 3.07 million viewers. TV ratings in general are trending downwards, however, with lots of people watching shows later or online.
This period, leading up to WrestleMania and before the NBA playoffs usually brings in the highest ratings of the year for WWE, so it obviously has to be disappointing. Probably did not help that Raw was incredibly boring.
