WWE Raw viewers up this week for Great Balls of Fire fallout show

This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw was all but guaranteed to see an increase in viewers considering it came the evening after the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view (PPV) in Dallas. Sure enough, the show drew 3.00 million viewers, up from the 2.83 million it drew the week before.

Here’s the hourly breakdown:

Hour one: 3.04 million
Hour two: 3.07 million
Hour three: 2.90 million

The show was up against Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby on ESPN, in fairness. Still, it’s hard not to see a disappointment in these numbers following a damn good PPV with a hot attempted murder angle attached to it.

I guess it wasn’t that hot after all.
