News On Monday’s RAW, Celebrity Guest Hosts

— This past Monday’s edition of WWE RAW drew a 4.12 quarter hour rating for the overrun. That is the lowest final segment number in over a month, as the past several RAWs all drew better than a 4.4 for the overrun. (Source: PWInsider.com)

— According to F4WOnline.com, this week’s RAW audience age skewed higher than usual, with there reportedly being as many audience members older than 40 as there were younger (a first for the show). In addition to further demonstrating the discrepancy between WWE’s supposed youth-oriented, PG booking and the actual viewership, this also suggests that having the ZZ Top members as guest hosts influenced the show’s demographic breakdown. While the band did not increase total viewership (the show still did a 3.5), it clearly changed the audience composition.
