Next night, I have little interest in RAW because of the PPV, decided to watch heroes instead. Tuned into the beginning of RAW for the hell of it anyway, saw HHH get a rematch that night for the WWE Championship, said fuck it, and watched Heroes.
I'm with you on that. The ratings apparently haven't dropped much, but I thought they would at least go up with the new Champion and all the interest surrounding the angle. Of course, the WWE in their infinite wisdom, went with boring booking, and haven't benefited themselves in any way.

I agree with Mercury Bullet on his thoughts. The RAW audience would not wander to sports if RAW was actually *gasp* entertaining. The same old shit is not going to get it done. John Cena's absence probably didn't hurt things. A few more overweight wet teenage girls might have stopped watching, but a lot of them probably watch for Jeff Hardy (why he's attractive is anyone's guess), Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, etc. Plus, Cena was advertised and present (in some form) on the show. I don't think the lack of Cena can be blamed, although that is what the WWE will do.
