RAW Rating Is Finally In, Early ‘Mania 25 Buyrate News, More

In an interview with Vindy.com, John Cena was once again asked about whether his budding movie career will take away from his time in WWE. Cena said “I’m going to be the first guy to work two full-time jobs. I’m certainly not going to leave wrestling anytime soon, but I’m not going to do movies as a hobby. I really want to devote 100-percent effort into any project I get involved with.”

It should be noted that unlike last year, this year’s WrestleMania took place in WWE’s second fiscal quarter, so we’ll have to wait until August before seeing the final buyrate. During the investor conference call this morning, Vince did state that WrestleMania drew over 70,000 fans and is on track to doing close to 1 million buys.

Monday’s episode of Raw scored a 3.3 cable rating, down from 3.4 the week before. Raw was seen by an average audience of 4.6 million viewers, a drop of 18.5 percent compared to the previous five weeks of the program. In the key Male 18-49 demo, the show declined to a 2.6 rating, its worst performance in that demo since the December 22, 2008.
