RAW AUDIENCE DROPS TO LOWEST SINCE MAY, HOUR THREE DROPS ESPECIALLY HARD

The 9/15 episode of Raw garnered 3,826,000 viewers, the lowest audience since last May.

The show started out with 3,900.000 viewers in Hour One. The John Cena-Brock Lesnar tease, where WWE pretty much admitted the two would face off at "half-time", brought Hour Two up to 3,949,000 viewers. Unfortunately, that then left Hour Three to drop down to 3,629,000 viewers.

That would be the lowest rated third hour since December 2013. You know WWE is not happy about that.

Raw's primary competition, the NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Indianapolis Colts brought in 14,891,000 viewers.
