RAW ratings have been falling for a while now but strong competition from the NBA Finals on Monday hurt the already struggling show in a big way. In fact, this week's episode was one of the least watched editions of RAW in modern history aside from those which have aired on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.
RAW managed to draw a paltry 2.13 million viewers, a figure which would have been unthinkable just a few months ago and even this time last year when WWE faced similarly strong competition.
Clearly, fans just aren't interested in the current product and with so much of the spotlight being put on Shane McMahon and storylines which simply aren't that compelling, it's no wonder that viewers are choosing not to watch the show.
Hour one drew 2.38 million viewers and then it was all downhill from there as hour two did 2.09 million viewers and the third hour fell to below 2 million with 1.91 million viewers.
