Raw last night did 3.68 million viewers, back to being among the lowest of the last 17 years. The show went head-to-head with the U.S. women's World Cup game against Colombia, which did 4.72 million viewers.

It was third for the night on cable, also trailing Major Crimes on TNT, which did 4.24 million viewers.

The good news is that the show gained in viewers with a strong third hour, so the show long storyline worked.

For the three hours:

8 p.m. 3.59 million viewers

9 p.m. 3.61 million viewers

10 p.m. 3.81 million viewers

Overall raw was not on the level the matches felt rushed and very obvious of the outcomes i dont mind jobber matches but several on one card is too much the hottest stories right now are Wyatt/Reigns Cena/Owens Brock/everybody lol. and the divas angle is getting some lead way.

I don't think the issue was that there were several of them so much as it felt like almost every match was one.

Match-order was a huge problem, too.

They needed Dean and Kane to go on first so Seth could help Kane, but they (rightfully) didn't want to do the Reign-Sheamus match with that terrible finish as the main event... so they did those two first and made everything else a bunch of short, mostly-irrelevant matches all in a row.
