RAW hourly ratings, Weekend ratings, and Smackdown preview
    Submitted by Mr. Tito on Thursday, February 27, 2003 at 11:47 AM EST

    MONDAY NIGHT RAW HOURLY RATINGS

    First Hour: 3.9
    Second Hour: 4.1

    A 3.9 is a high opening hour these days, but the second hour didn't see a gigantic increase. Some suggest the lower rating was from not getting Steve Austin on television until next week, despite the Rock making his return to RAW. Austin was announced in the first hour of returning to RAW for this upcoming Monday instead of the current show.

    WEEKEND WWE RATINGS

    Velocity: 0.8 (1.3 share)
    Confidential: 0.8 (1.7 share)

    Ratings for Sunday Night Heat weren't known just yet, given the one-week switch to TNN from Mtv.

    OFFICIAL SMACKDOWN PREVIEW

    Expect the aftermath of No Way Out to unravel on SmackDown! this Thursday, starting at 8/7 CT on UPN!

    Brock Lesnar earned a degree of satisfaction at the pay-per-view by defeating Team Angle alongside his tag team partner, Chris Benoit. But Lesnar still has yet to unleash his vengeance on Kurt Angle. Will he get that opportunity on SmackDown!? Tune in Thursday and see!

    Matt Hardy worked overtime just to make weight and qualify to compete in the cruiserweight division. All the sweat and labor paid off at No Way Out when he defeated Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship. Check out SmackDown! this Thursday to find out if Matt has anything to say about his newly-won title!

    There's plenty more to see on SmackDown! this week. Rumor has it that a Superstar will be reappearing this Thursday night after an extended leave of absence. Tune in to UPN at 8/7 CT to see who it is!
