10/1 WWE Raw Draws Lowest Rating of 2012

This week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 2.54, with an average of 3.5 million fans, according to ProWrestling.net. This is down from an already low rating last week, and stands as the WWE's lowest Raw rating since the 4th of July special in 2011. 

As Wrestlezone's Justin LaBar reported earlier today, Vince McMahon was already upset with the direction of Raw, and this rating will certainly not help. It is worth pointing out that WWE Superstar John Cena was notably absent from Monday's broadcast, which could have contributed to the poor viewership, along with Monday Night Football's presentation of the Chicago Bears against the Dallas Cowboys.
