Monday's WWE RAW, featuring the fallout from WWE Clash of Champions plus Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Chris Jericho and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens in the main event, drew 2.478 million viewers. This is down 7.7% from last week's 2.684 million viewers and the lowest audience for the show in its history.

The show started off with their most watched hour since football started earlier this month, drawing 2.850 million viewers. However, the second hour dropped 17% to 2.381 million viewers once the debate started. The audience continued to fall, drawing 2.203 million viewers for the third hour.

RAW was #15 on cable for the night in viewership, behind the NFL's Monday Night Football, the US Presidential debate with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and the various programs that covered the debate. RAW was #11 in the 18-49 demographic.

Just on cable last night, the debate drew almost 30 million viewers. The NFL drew 8 million viewers.

Rightfully so, they put on a terrible show. Nothing cool really happened in terms of moments, a few good matches but they dropped the ball big time.

It's not dropping the ball. Why the fuq would they waste something good for a show no one is going to watch? It'd be like TBS airing porn during the Super bowl.

It's called being competitive, but they obviously went with the safest route. Nobody is surprised that the ratings sucked.

I was just going to post this. I mean is anybody surprised. Monday Night Football got its ass slaughtered in the ratings and that's insane. You can't really blame WWE for that. Everything was going to get murdered up against that.

I think they purposely made the show mediocre and had no real big things happen because they knew nobody was watching.

I hope the touch on the low ratings and joke around about it next week on RAW. Kinda like how Jericho and Foley joked over that Pro Wrestling Exposed show during the Attitude Era.

I hate webinars. They never provide any snacks.
