The September 12th RAW was headlined by a match between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. If Reigns won, he was added to the match at Clash Of Champions between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship. How would they do up against Monday Night Football?

According to ShowBuzz Daily, the September 12th RAW drew an average of 2.69 million viewers. This is down big from last weeks rating of 3.069 million viewers. It is also down tremendously from 2 weeks ago where RAW averaged 3.413 million viewers.
Here is the hourly breakdown for the September 13th RAW:
- Hour 1 – 2.833 million viewers.
- Hour 2 – 2.717 million viewers.
- Hour 3 – 2.520 million viewers.
The WWE was head to head against the first week of Monday Night Football which explains the ratings slide. I was expecting the numbers to drop but not so significantly. With NFL football back for the next several months, it will be interesting to see if Smackdown LIVE can overtake them in the ratings battle.

This is one of the worst ratings for RAW that I have ever seen and it should raise a bit of concern within the WWE. They can’t keep using the excuse of other shows being available. They need to improve their own product and make the show worth watching. Last nights show did nothing much to keep viewers invested for the full 3 hours. Hopefully the addition of the Cruiserweight division will help a bit!!

What were the ratings of other shows from different channels during the same time as Raw??? If you could find a way to also post those stats, it would help figure out if Raw did poorly.
I dont know if Raw did poorly or not because I have no idea knowing if other shows had more viewers or not.
