WWE management were prepared for a 25% drop in the final RAW rating for this week, since it aired on Sci Fi. But they did better than expected. RAW scored a 3.3 cable rating, with a 5.1 share. The first hour scored a 3.3 cable rating and the second hour scored a 3.4, which gave a composite of 3.4. (The final rating has been corrected. Click here to read the latest post about it, as to why the rating was a 3.3 and not a 3.4.)

The replay on the USA Network scored a 0.6 cable rating, with a 2.5 share. The first hour of the replay scored a 0.7 and the second hour scored a 0.5. Therefore, if you add their rating from Sci Fi and their late airing on the USA Network, that gives you a 4.0. They basically drew their usual rating.

In other ratings, the August 26th edition of AM Raw scored a 1.0 cable rating, with a 4.4 share.
