I can't imagine people are really in a WWE Mood these days. You have people who get paid to review RAW bowing out of covering the show. You have the same shit happening week in and week out with almost no change whatsoever. And now you have YET ANOTHER wave of talent being fired for inexplicably no reason Yeah the Playoffs might hurt a bit but this is indicative of a lot of other things going on. And now we have a RAW Third Hour that is lower than some of the shows AEW has put on within the last few weeks. It's telling. I don't blame people for dropping out of reviewing WWE's shows. If they're not willing to put in the effort to put on any decent shows and build stars, then why further waste time reviewing them. Same logic applies for the audience watching these shows. Why continue watching them when nothing is changing? As far as the overall quality of the product goes, this was a trend that began well over a decade ago, and has only gotten worse since then.

I guess Kofi/Drew was a draw after all.
Or at least slightly more than usual.

ah shit, the new numbers don't fit the narrative! It’s good news for those that like Drew and Kofi at least that their advertised match which was a great match didn’t lose 400K viewers.

I want another McMahon family jamboree. This time they’ll blame it all on Adam Pearce. Then they’ll make with the empty promises that they have no intention or idea how to keep.

Yeah, I put the updated stuff in the OP, though from PWInsider where I saw it.

Easy booking to have Kofi cost Drew the belt, leading to Drew's much needed break from the title scene. Or if Drew does win the title have Kofi be the first challenger.

Haha, that's quite a turn around!
From the worst thing ever to actually drawing more!

Do you think they'll hit the red button and do a big roster shakeup (IE: pillage NXT) ? Vince: I need new wrestlers dammit, raid NXT! That Dream guy, those son guys I forgot Pritchard: We fired most of them. Vince: Then get Big Show, Bo and Black out of catering and make a new stable, triple b+! This is good shit. Pritchard: They're gone too. Vince: Nostalgia! Who haven't we bought back from the attitude era? Pritchard: Nobody, we even used Sting Vince: Shield reunion? Pritchard: We've been over this Vince: Shawn, Janettey! Pritchard: Retired and you'll just fire him again Vince: Celebrities? Pritchard: ...want nothing to do with us Vince: A star we made in the last 10 years? Pritchard: you er... Forgot to make any sir Vince: Dammit I have screwed this up, might as well make the fans The Authority Pritchard: You tried saying that already Pritchard: Hey it was a mistake? Vince: I knew it, I am a creative genius,lets just do the same show again next week.

Raw’s 3rd hour viewership actually went up from hours one and two according to POST Wrestling. Did over 1.5 million viewers.

I'd watch immediately if they let them cut dope promos and amazing matches. They've got great chemistry.

What a letdown, these rematches and slow-build-to-nothing shows makes me sick.

It's still not a great overall number by any means but it at least makes sense and is more in line with what I anticipated. Number will likely stay there or go down further until July comes around.

These reports are gonna be weird for a while with Showbuzz Daily out of commission. Like, I could imagine dollar signs lighting up in the eyes of wrestling reporters getting to report on a monumental collapse for WWE ratings because that shit draws in this fanbase, all before they even know whether it was completely accurate or not.
I mean, even here you can tell that sort of thing. Big ratings drop? Thread goes like four pages. Ratings hold steady or go up? Barely even four POSTS.

Vince: "THE RATINGS WERE ACTUALLY GOOD? SHIT! GET BRAUN STROWMAN, ALEISTER BLACK, AND SHELTON BENJAMIN ON THE PHONE NOW!"
Asst: "Sir Shelton works here"
Vince: "THEN FIRE HIM AND THEN REHIRE HIM, NOW!"

RAW is just background noise for me at this point. Remember when it used to get 7s and 8s for ratings? That feels like decades ago now. It was. The last time Raw got ratings that huge was 1999-2000. Sigh.
