Hour 1: 1.699 million
Hour 2: 1.688 million
Hour 3: 1.463 million
Average: 1.617 million

Well, last week's worst key demo performance ever didn't last long.

Excellent.

Bares noting that the third hour M12-34 barely edged out last week's Dynamite, 0.21 to 0.19. And Raw wasn't running against a competing wrestling show.

Whoa, take a look at that Female 12-34 number for hour 3. They did a .08? That's basically no one. The overall 18-49 was slightly up from last week oddly enough, albeit .476 to .46.

[DASH 243✅]

Vince: we need more heel dominance! That's what the people want.

[slaughterama]

MLB has opened to record ratings. NBA (featuring LeBron) & NHL will both be on next week. Next week should be even uglier.

it deserved it

when a title changed hands via count out that'll turn off viewers

September 14th with Monday Night Football could be sub-1 million ugly.

[dbrussel]

Of course they lost female viewers in hour 3. Sasha vs Asuka ended at the top of hour 3 and Drew doesnt draw women for some reason

[Pushed to the Moon]

Every week it seems like Raw is 3rd behind 90 Day Fiance and Below Deck. I guess Raw needs a wedding on boat?

And yet it's still, for all its many, many, many, many, many, many-



-many, many, many, many-



-many flaws, it's still in the Top 10 for the night and therefore Vince gives even fewer shits than he already was not giving.

Honestly I think they do give a shit but have no idea how to address it. Meltzer's been saying that their current focus is trying to get every top star on each show each week, they brought back the Wild Card shit, there's been the shuffling the deck chairs with Prichard and Bischoff and Heyman and Edge and Bryan, they're putting Sasha and Bayley all over everything because they bumped NXT's ratings once, and there's really no reason to have not done Orton / Show on PPV besides being deluded enough to think it'd draw in viewers.

I mean, I was watching baseball. And I don't mean that as a slight against WWE/Raw. Baseball being back has been filling a lost void for a lot of sports fans. It's almost an instant playoff atmosphere. Wrestling will still be there when we want/need it.

I changed the channel after the asuka-sasha match, the ending annoyed me enough to just change it

They've completely lost how to build matches, make stars or bump ratings. Basically writing TV for them is a mystery.

I remember making this thread about a year ago.

Weird that it's actually entirely possible that it happens next week with the NBA back and almost definitely will happen when football returns.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This show deserved it, and I said they deserved it, it was a complete unmitigated disaster. That Asuka/Sasha match finish sealed the deal for me and considering how BADLY the Female Demo dropped, yeah, it sure was the right decision to make Bayley and Sasha have the reign of terror over the women next.

WWE's not keeping young viewers, and it's easy to see why. This is dangerously leaning towards at least the third hour collapsing below a million viewers if and when the NFL returns, if not sooner. RAW is giving ZERO REASON to tune in right now, at all.

[cabbageboy]

Well, I have said for weeks that Bayley and Sasha have utter and complete X-Pac heat and I think that 3rd hour cratering pretty much seals the deal. There was discussion elsewhere on here about Meltzer noting that this sort of finish drew money in the territory days, but what's funny is that when done on any national level finishes like that always tank business without fail. It's the sort of stuff dying era AWA would do, or 1987-88 NWA when Dusty was burned out as a booker.

That said, do we know that the NFL will 100% have a season?
