Good first hour but holy cow is that a big drop.

Like every other gimmick they whip out, the Thunderdome buys them a ratings spike for a week or two, and dissipates when everybody watching sees that the underlying product is the same as always.

I have to imagine last week's numbers were inflated by curiosity about the Thunderdome. But it's still putting lipstick on a pig.

Smackdown’s probably gonna see somewhat of a spike with a newly-heel Roman as the champ.

I was about to say, did RAW really even DO anything at Payback other than a couple title changes that are fine but don't really do much for story or landscape?

And imagine if it doesn’t... they’re out of ideas

Smackdowns still doing 2 million viewers plus and good demo numbers so if it doesn’t spike, they’re still fine.

Smackdown will probably see a spike with Roman yes, but RAW's going back to the status quo that has been the last fww months. They keep throwing things at the wall to get a spike and hope it sticks but it never does. Three hours is too long, they do things which frustrate the fans (Splitting the IIconics) and when it comes to building new stars, they have severely lacked that for a long time.

It's just been a longstanding bleed heightened by the pandemic era and I dont see it stopping.
