From SEScoops"Monday’s Memorial Day-edition of WWE RAW averaged 2.613 million viewers, down from last week’s 2.615 million viewers. This marks a new low for 2017 and the 5th consecutive week that RAW drew under 3 million viewers.
The show featured the final build for Extreme Rules and Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns in the main event.
Here’s the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:
Hour 1: 2.689 million viewers
Hour 2: 2.681 million viewers
Hour 3: 2.468 million viewers
RAW was #1 in viewership and #2 in the 18-49 demographic this week."I've not watched any wrestling since Wrestlemania and from what I've seen reading the recaps of Raw, I've not missed much at all. Why do you think the ratings have been so lackluster? |

I doubt WWE is worried. Supposedly they're on cruise control for a few weeks. And will kick it up in July. Hopefully if nothing else, this will cause them to really start firing on all cylinders soon.
Personally I'd love to see an Ambrose heel turn. Take the shackles off and give us new top heel on RAW. Feuds with Rollins, Reigns, & Balor would all be entertaining. Either that or turn Balor and realign him with the Club. A heel faction that forces the Shield to reunite. Could make for some interesting TV.

It deserved it for that godawful This is Your Life segment. Even Little Miss Bliss couldn't save that one.
On the whole, though, RAW is just... boring. Literally the only thing I find entertaining is the Goldust turn. Miz/Ambrose has been underwhelming. The main event scene is just completely strewn together. Roman is being booked as the underdog still. Sasha Banks is stuck doing stuff with the cruiserweights, because they have nothing else for her until she turns on Bayley. Oh yeah, and it's still 3 hours, which continues to cripple the quality even worse.

The 3 hours are annoying but Raw isn't as bad as people make out and it does not deserve that rating. It has some of the best talent in wrestling at present.

Maybe put the Universal Championship on someone who will be there every week instead of every 3 months.

I'm just wondering what will be the outcome (if any) for the low ratings?
Will they make some major changes or just some minor ones in hopes that it will excite the audience?

I doubt they will do anything of substance. They've stated numerous times they don't care all that much about the TV ratings because TV is only a small part of their overall revenue.

I stopped watching RAW when Dean Ambrose and The Miz became the main focus of the show.. Neither of them draw me into a show.. I don't watch WWE for either of those dudes.
This was a couple weeks ago.

funny how they lost viewers going into the main event featuring Big (Ratings-Getter) Dog......
no point in watching something when you already know the conclusion. it'd be like if during every NFL game around halftime someone came out and said "_______ is going to win by 14 points"

They'll care if USA decides not to renew their TV deal when it expires if the ratings continue to fall, although that seems unlikely, it's still a possibility. |

Not surprising. I had a late night shift, so i missed RAW Monday, but i saw the highlights, listened to Don Tony ans Kevin Castle. Seems the only highlight of the show was the Reigns vs Rollins, which i then went out of my way to watch, and it was pretty good as said even though Reigns won

I haven't watched since Mania myself but I read the recaps and I'm glad I stopped watching.

Lol are wrestling fans the only fans that care about the ratings? I heard Jericho talk about it with Jeff Hardy and Dean Ambrose on a recent podcast. I for one have never cared for them and thought it was only relevant during the Monday Night Wars after watching the 2004 documentary.

I heard the triple threat match was good. Havent had time to watch it yet. Honestly I think the current era gets too much sh**. It's nowhere close to how bad it was in the mid 90s.

I hope that Vince realises that Brock as champion is bad for business. A wrestling show needs a top title and I can't imagine this lasti g until WM.

I haven't watched since Braun went down with his injury and don't regret it.
There is nothing on Raw besides Alexa that draws me to the show besides Braun.
I read the results and see an occasional video on YouTube, but I don't miss it.

I have't watched in about a month. It has been a chore to sit through, and I have used that free time on more entertaining things.

I stopped watching for the most part since the night after Payback. Been watching ROH and ECW Pay-Per-Views from the beginning.
