I wonder what the replay will do tonight. If a 2 hour versions does well, does it help WWE's case with USA to cut the show back to 2 hours.

You mean Kane in the main event isn't drawing? Vince: "Well that Swiss guy isnt connecting with the audience, and that cult leader guy is missing a cult...so what else can we do?"

Kevin Dunn: These NXT women are getting a lot of praise. We need to find a way to capitalize on it.
Kevin Dunn: You're right Kevin, we should get them in Bra and Panty matches on RAW immediately!
Kevin Dunn: That's brilliant Kevin! That'll make the divas look powerful to forcibly strip each other and cause embarrassment! This is a great feminist empowerment statement! Now about this gay marriage thing, we need a new lesbian stalker angle to celebrate it...

Kane getting the better of THE ENTIRE SHIELD and Brock Lesnar over the course of a month isn't bringing in the viewers? ASTONISHING.

There's no way Rollins is getting the WWE Title again any time soon after he loses it at Battleground

The WWE's response to that: A 25 minutes opening promo by Triple H and Stephanie Mc Mahon next week.

I've said it before but if you are going to build for the future like WWE loves to do (by never dropping the old guard) you have to accept down times as you do it. I still think Seth will be fine and will grow in the fans eyes but we all know it is the Roman Era so let's just get to it already. Yeah, these are the kind of L's you have to take during a rebuilding process. It's like a sports franchise. The first 2-3 years may be rough but all you can do is stay the course, keep building towards the future, and hope for the best.

The only solution is increase the weekly 20 minute authority promo about Kane and J&J to 40 minutes and then end EVERY HOUR with them all standing tall. Spice things up a little.

PWInsider has a breakdown going back to 2012, they've lost about 2.5 million viewers in the last 3 years. I shudder to think what the ratings will be like a year or two from now, if it's like this now...that's fine I suppose, but they're not gaining viewers. Even Nitro at its lowest point were still doing ratings cable companies would kill for. No, that first one PWInsider has listed is Raw 1000 - they weren't getting 6 million viewers regularly. The four and a half million that they got the following Raws is the comparison you want to look at. But that still means that they've lost around half a million to a million regular viewers in the past three years (and Raw 1000 was the start of the switch to three hour Raws, so it isn't even the drop in the average due to going three hours).

Maybe they could start giving money away or have celebrity guest hosts.

Raw last night did 3.46 million viewers, the second lowest non-holiday number for the show since 1997, meaning it even fell below games against the NFL.
The only non-holiday Raw below, on December 3, 2012, went against a monster ratings for a New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins game.
If there is a positive, the numbers for the second straight week grew during the show and peaked in the final hour.
What makes this number even worse is that competition was non-existent, aside from the usual Love & Hip Hop Atlanta 4, and there was nothing of note when it came to sports competition, with a baseball game head-to-head on ESPN doing 669,000 viewers.
Raw was still the highest rated show on cable.

3.5 million? But didn't they brag about having over a half billion social media followers! What are they all doing Monday Nights? Kevin Dunn: Hmm, ratings are dropping. I got an idea! Let's make next week's show look and feel exactly the same as it has for years now! Kevin Dunn: My thoughts exactly Vinny! Kevin DUNN confirmed CREY CREY

This show did that number on merit. The opening segment sucked to the point where I was like "Get the hook!" and hit FF on the DVR. In fact at this point I am finding myself needing to watch other shows and DVR Raw so I can cut out a bunch of crap during the show. The ultimate sad aspect of wrestling right now is that TNA may well be on its last lets as a company...and I find Impact of late quite a bit better than Raw.

Hour 1 - 3.36 million Hour 2 - 3.54 million Hour 3 - 3.482 million Tick Toc until Cena Gets the belt back I'd be ok with this. ONLY if he continues the storyline he is in right now with Owens. Just swap US title and WWE title. Intertwine it with Brock, non-Authority Rollins, Cesaro, Ambrose, and ugh...Reigns.
