The ratings are in for this past Monday night's (Oct. 31) Halloween edition of WWE Raw Supershow, which featured the highly anticipated appearance of the Muppets.
WWE Raw on Monday, October 31 scored a 3.10 rating, down from a 3.31 rating last week following the Vengeance PPV. The ratings picture was very similar to the Oct. 17 episode two weeks ago leading into the Vengeance PPV.
Raw averaged 4.49 million viewers off an average of 4.61 million first hour viewers and an average of 4.37 million second hour viewers. It was the fewest number of second hour viewers in six weeks dating back to September.
It's not a surprise that the numbers were down from last week, considering both the nature of the show and the fact that we're smack dab in the middle of the NFL season. These are the ratings we can expect until early next year, save for a small upkick after pay-per-views.
It is most certainly somewhat discouraging, though, that neither The Rock nor the Muppets were able to move the needle. The Rock because his return is, theoretically, the one thing that should actually have a big effect on ratings and the Muppets because it was Halloween the kids should have been done trick-or-treating by the time Raw came on TV.
Then again, it's a good thing more folks weren't watching. If they had been, they would have watched one of the worst booked episodes of Raw in recent memory.

It was halloween and the kids might have been home on the east coast but out west.
As for The Rock, I maybe alone in this but I could care less when he gets his “shot on location” promos or whatever you want to call them. It’s fun when you can have a back and forth with someone and something actually might break out.
Plus as you or somebody pointed out the live crowd doesnt get into those promos either.

I agree with that observation. It seems like he just drones on when nobody is there to play off of. Even when he is live and alone in the ring just playing with the crowd, there is a different energy than doing taped promos.
