[Emperor Smeat]

This week's RAW managed to do worse than last week although was also the rare time where the show didn't suffer a big drop in female viewers. WWE teasing a big announcement and rumors spreading it was women related likely played a big role in them keeping the female viewership through the show.

RAW also lost out to its blood rival Love & Hip Hop for rankings stuff.

Originally Posted by Observer An interesting note, which is very much the exception to normal patterns, is that the women audience was more loyal, and actually grew, while the male audience was the one less interested as the show went on. In women 18-49, the first-to-third hour growth was 10 percent while the male drop was one percent. With teenage girls, the first-to-third hour growth was 15 percent while the male drop was seven percent.
