The 7 day totals can also paint a picture of the product still being pretty hot, but the live viewership being different, like with most products these days on cable

They held steady from last week and were number one on cable again, that's what matters. I know year over year has shown a drop but there are a lot of factors to that outside of the show itself, including the fact that year over year cable is so hard to maintain and grow, it shows how many WWE fans were truly waiting for Vince to get lost to come back to it imo

But yeah, good show gets a good rating, deserved it for sure and hope that continues as they get closer to All In

Congratulations to AEW Dynamite for its 200th pustule on the ass cheek of history, naught but a rotting little infection that awaits drainage and healing. And make no mistake; history shall heal. Television itself shall heal. How long can AEW sit afloat atop the waters before finally the cracks break through and water rushes in? Sharks circle awaiting the sinking of this failed joke of a promotion, but do not mistake these predators for mere sharks. They are cocaine sharks, and they are impatient.

Great rating. Things have slightly ticked up since the early summer. And it’s because the shows are better.

The Bucks continue to be in demos that losers viewers. They’ve stalled out recently, hope they can get something interesting going soon.

Happy to see the women match increased the demo

I wouldn’t call myself a fan of the Bucks but I do like them. They haven’t done anything interesting in forever storyline wise.

80% of the match of The Bucks was in the high points of the ratings?

So the majority of the Bucks' match was in Q5, and they get no credit for how well that quarter did.
But the final 4 minutes of the match that was in Q6 gets all the blame for the drop in that quarter.
Ok gotcha.

Not to pile on here but the rating clearly shows people were watching their match. Two segments back to back and then a commercial break likely caused the tune out more than the actual match itself.

So they do hit the vaunted milly with dvr viewership figured into things.

Yeah I think that’s typically been the case for them. There’s a decent amount of wrestling fans that watch on DVR. I know Smackdown’s Live+7 viewership is posted weekly on SpoilerTV and they typically do between 300K and 500K in DVR views each week.

MJF and Cole continue to put numbers on the board, gotta love it. Show was down 4.69% year on year, which isn't much relative to the cable viewership decline overall. Number 1 for the night, looking good.
