This week's episode of "Monday Night Raw," the fallout show from Sunday's Survivor Series pay-per-view, registered a new viewership low. The show had been performing quite well in the US, but ratings plummeted on Monday, breaking below the three million viewers mark for the first time since the show started running for three hours in 2012. Moreover, the viewership figure was the lowest recorded by the show since 1997.

This week's show attracted an average of 2.96 million viewers, which translates into a 2.16 rating, versus the previous week's 3.29 million viewers (a 2.28 rating).


The hourly viewership breakdown goes as follows:

Hour 1: 3.19 million viewers (down from 3.54 million last week)
Hour 2: 2.99 million viewers (down from 3.29 million last week)
Hour 3: 2.71 million viewers (down from 3.05 million last week)

I am annoyed with Internet idiots and McMahons who pretend that the ratings drop is because Cena and Orton aren't around. The ratings have been declining for the last 10 years, while both men were the faces of the company.

I agree that it really has very little to do with Cena or Orton being around. The whole format of the show needs to change. Just about every segment has gotten too predictable for fans now. I never watch it on live T.v. anymore. I couldn't bare to not be able to flip through the boring segments I don't care for.

They should make it 2 hours instead of 3. I know it's not possible, but Smackdown should be live and not taped like Raw.
