First XFL Game Pulls In 3.3 million Viewers On ABC

ABC network has announced that the XFL opener between the Seattle Dragons and the D.C. Defenders scored an average of 3.3 million viewers.

Last year, the Alliance of American Football drew 2.9 million viewers for its first game. The AAF never reached anything remotely close to that again and shut down before completing its first season.

It is also interesting to note the rating beat WWE Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
