The June 13th, 2016 edition of RAW did 2.970 million viewers overall. This is down from last week's 3.255 million viewers, and the first time a non-holiday three hour RAW has fallen under the three million viewership mark. The NBA Finals likely played a big role.
Below is the hourly breakdown:
8PM: 3.043M viewers
9PM: 3.109M viewers
10PM: 2.758M viewers

I watched the first 30 minutes of Raw and was bored out of my mind, so I turned the channel and never went back.

The watermark keeps getting lower.
They're gonna drop below 2.0, and USA is going to be mighty displeased.

I'm hoping USA drops the third hour of RAW when the brand split begins. Also, I'm not gonna use the excuse that the NBA Finals had anything to with the viewership going low, annoys the hell out of me when other shows are blamed for wrestling getting lower ratings. Honestly, RAW wasn't that interesting this week.

Because why would anyone continue watching to see Ambrose vs. Jericho who we just saw face off at the past two PPVs and then last week on Smackdown? I don't understand what goes threw the writers heads that makes them think we want to see repeat matches every week. Why couldn't he face Del Rio?? and then have Jericho and Owens team up to face Lucha Dragons

They should do away with 3 hours and go back to starting at 8. By 9, I'm already ready for the show to end.

They should have put Smackdown on hiatus until it was ready to go live. They should also shave Raw to two hours after the brand split. One didn't happen and the other won't...so problems will continue.
There comes a point when there's nothing up against Raw and when the ratings STILL suck at THAT point...who do you blame?
Hell, in this very thread there was someone who would rather watch a thirty year old movie than a live Raw. That's not good.

With SD going live, I think RAW needs to go to two hours. Keep both shows even. And USA might be willing to allow it now because they'll be going live two nights in a row.

Or USA will still want the meager viewership that third hour gives because it's not like they want to shell out any more production money for a new show about men who wear suits or hack things. |

Ah so the video game release didn't really make that much of an impact on the ratings a couple weeks ago? I'm not surprised.

If those shows were getting better ratings than Raw, they would. Raw's sole value to USA is that it puts the network higher in the overall cable ratings. If another show they had did the same kind of numbers 52 weeks a year, they would happily put that show in Raw's slot. |

I couldn't be more than thankful that DVR exists in this world, Raw only takes me like 40 minutes to get through.

I fell asleep before the Sheamus/Zack Ryder match and when I woke up Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho were wrestling, which we saw on Smackdown a few days earlier |

The show was absolutely dreadful.
I never have a hard time watching Raw. I could literally watch wrestling and only wrestling.
But the past two weeks of RAW have been VERY hard to watch with the exception of a few short segments here and there.

Both of those shows are fantastic and infinitely better than Raw... Mr. Robot is the best television USA has ever produced in the history of their channel. |

It sucks. The only reason I even bothered to fast forward through it was just to see if Wyatt returned. Everything is so predictable. I remember every once in a while titles would change hands on Monday night, the story lines were intriguing, and we didn't see Jericho vs Ambrose for the 578th time week after week.......

You can only blame the NBA Finals to a certain extent. They still should've been able to break 3 million if they had anything going on that people actually cared about.
