Monday's Raw Does Big Rating

- As noted before, last night's WWE RAW drew 5.02 million viewers on the USA Network. The final rating for the show is a 3.7 rating.

This is up 21% in viewers and 16% in the ratings from last week. This is the first time RAW has topped 5 million viewers since RAW 1,000.

Needless to say WWE officials were pleased with the post-Royal Rumble numbers as they have already issued a press release touting the success of last night's ratings.
