They really made no effort to keep the interest from last week going. It was an okay show but nothing that would keep the momentum going.
It feels like WWE isn't as concerned about their week-to-week numbers as we are.

It feels like WWE isn't as concerned about their week-to-week numbers as we are. <claps> Glad someone else sees this. Why would they care about the week to week if NBC Universal is so happy with them they are mandating a 3rd hour and moving their B show off one of their smaller networks to their main one. Ratings threads are fun to talk in, but with nothing else to compare them to the ratings themselves are serving less and less of a purpose when it comes to WWE anymore. All that matters to them is they are #1 on cable for the night. Everything else is gravy. (ie. comparing to last week, hourly ratings, etc.). NBC just sees the highest rated show (outside Monday night football) every Monday night on cable for the entire prime time block.

It's clearly Bryan's faul... What, he wasn't on the show? Eight stitches in the head? OK. It's clearly Ziggler's fa... Him, too? It's CLEARLY Ambrose's fa... He wasn't on either? ... OK, it was DEFINITELY Cesaro's fault. Can we blame him... No? Wasn't on other than two three-second cutaways. Neville! Definitely Neville. He had a match, so we gotta blame him... What do you mean highest rated hour on the show? ... Man, this is hard when you don't book your scapegoats. I know people joke about this but I remember a superstar saying Miz and R Truth where blamed for the low buy rate with their match against Cena and Rock.

It didn't help matters when Miz/Truth were booked like complete goobers in the weeks leading up to the match.

Fans invest in them because it's often the strawman reason the company uses for not pushing those actually popular, while at the same time ignoring the same criterion for those who they want to be. By this same token though, because of this prejudicial reasoning, fans often now do the same in reverse, burying someone like Reigns for not performing on the level of a Cena in any metric. But they only do so because they know guys like Bryan or Ziggler are stifled and held back in many ways as far as actual chances go, and want a guy like Reigns, who is not performing to levels his push merits, to fail through schadenfreude. It's bad on both ends.

NBC just sees the highest rated show (outside Monday night football) every Monday night on cable for the entire prime time block. exactly. that TV money is guaranteed and as long as they keep up this current performance nothings going to jeopardize that. The current business model works fine for WWE. They have 3 hours of television watched by 4 million or so people each week to shill their products at. They basically get paid a large amount of money by USA to air what is mostly a commercial for all the different pies they have their fingers in. Creative is stifled by business decisions, but it's the same issue in all forms of mainstream entertainment
