Wouldn't be surprised if WWE panicked and took the title off of Rollins sooner rather than later.

Ten years on and Orton just keeps making people change the channel. He's the only common denominator when he's on top and ratings go down. Look at Smack Down every time he was the focal point.

It's a bit better of an average than last week, but not by much.
At least should hopefully shoot down their idea that what causes ratings to go down is not having the Authority around.

There's something about Orton that's very unappealing to the casuals.

I may be crazy, but maybe people aren't that interested in Kane being a focal point of the main storyline in 2015.

It is post Mania, what do people really expect?

It is post Mania, what do people really expect? Since when is it a tradition for Raw's after Mania to plummet in the third hour? |

It is post Mania, what do people really expect? Well, lower ratings than typical's one thing, but last week was the lowest non-holiday, non-football episode in almost 20 years and this week is barely any better. Isn't really a good sign, especially plummeting that much mid-show. |

Didn't we hear the same thing about Punk & Bryan as champ? Don't know if we can count Lesnar's reign since he wasn't ever on TV regularly.
Seth is fantastic. He needs to be built up as the main guy. Right now he's "Authority member with the belt". The open of the show should have been him channeling Ric Flair telling HHH to get Kane on the same page because Seth's the champ etc. Heel champs need to have egos so large that it becomes unbelievable. He's presented as kinda whiny at this point.

Should've been a handicap main event. Seth and Kane vs. Orton. Would've given Bryan/Tensai vs. Punk a run for its money.

Has that third hour ever been consistently decent? I feel like they could have almost anything happen in that third hour and it'll still be lower just because of how long Raw is and people having bedtimes.

If memory serves that is the usual pattern. 2nd hour highest, massive drop in the 3rd. Massive changes just because of a slump (which isn't even the case) when trying to build for the future is the worst possible move. Build these guys, don't start hotshotting or abandoning them for Cena again. Also Lizuka #BLM, that is rating point, not viewership. Ratings change constantly by how many people are watching cable, last week's viewership wasn't even lowest in a 6 months. |

That's just one example but a half a million drop is bad no matter what asterisk you put next to it. I agree with your point though, they shouldn't give up on Rollins and co. I'm just saying it's in WWE's nature to put all their blame on one target. |

Maybe I don't know, put Rollins with a much more entertaining face to feud with? Ambrose? Ziggler(Once he's finished feuding with Sheamus), a returning Lesnar, Cesaro, or Barrett? There's a lot of possibilities to consider if the WWE actually got creative.

There's something about Orton that's very unappealing to the casuals. It's really hard to invest in his feuds when he's a face. There's nothing sympathetic about him at all, even less than Triple H as a face. He's a great performer, but he's better suited for an exciting house show match than drawing people into a storyline. |

It was telling that fans would rather see a Reigns/Rollins match then another Orton/Rollins match
