Hell in a Cell was a solid PPV but it didn't feature a huge number of surprises beyond Brock Lesnar's return and it doesn't take the world's smartest fan to figure out he came back to set up a PPV match rather than anything on RAW the next night. That and the fact there were no title changes for the show could explain why RAW's ratings actually took a dip from the previous week this past Monday.
We're not talking about a huge drop as WWE's flagship show managed to draw a decent 2,672,000 viewers. That's down from last Monday's 2,740,000 viewers. Hour one averaged 2,839,000 viewers, hour two drew 2,746,000 viewers, and the final hour of the show averaged 2,432,000 viewers. RAW ranked #5 in the top 150 shows on cable for Monday night but never passed the 3 million mark.
There wasn't a significant hour to hour drop but it seems as if The Undertaker's return and that Universal Championship main event weren't massive draws. What did you guys think of this RAW?
