"Punk and Heyman Segment gained over 680,000 viewers for a 3.4 rating, a tremendous gain and segment, the star segment of the night"
"Bryan Gauntlet gained over 1,090,000 viewers to a 3.7 rating, the best over run segment in a long time"
"Randy Orton and Christian Lost 140,000 viewers at 10PM, horrible gain for that segment"

I'd love if the logic simply boiled down to "Cena's gone for a bit... might watch these other guys I've heard so much about instead".

I think a lot of this has to do with the booking. They're both involved in great angles that highlight their strengths. Plus, yeah, the people love them.

Hasn't Randy been known as a well-documented ratings killer?

Hasn't Randy been known as a well-documented ratings killer? Wait, aren't you one of the folks 'round these parts who continually belittles and insults posters who put stock in quarterly ratings breakdowns? Fans that care about ratings and buyrates and quarter-hour numbers as a way to argue what wrestlers they like or don't like are a much bigger plague on the business than fans who simply talk about how they don't like John Cena or talk about storylines and angles. |

Motivations are irrelevant if he states facts. If ratings consistently go down when Orton is on TV, there's no taking anything away from that in and of itself. |

Yes, I am. This is simply a question out of curiosity before anyone tries to think that I'm getting into the whole "The guy I like drew ratings! That means they should push him!" bit. |

To be honest I just believe its the predictability of a heel winning being a ratings killer. Nobody likes to watch the heel win. When Christian loses to Del Rio cleanly the B Champion two weeks in a row, do you think he's going to beat Orton the man feuding with the hottest wrestler at the moment? I know the report said that further out into the match it was gaining viewers but that was because the match was good and shit was getting real and the upset may actually happen and you don't want to miss that right? |

I read that segment, on the whole, lost viewers. Any truth to that or is it just rampant speculations? |

Wait, are questions of drawing centered around PPV/ticket sales or about ratings?

a)Wrestler you like draws below average half the time = “Quarter hour ratings aren’t that important.”
b)Wrestler you dislike does the same = "Why do they insist on pushing this ratings killer?"
c)Wrestler you like draws well one week = “This proves that guy/girl is a draw.”
d)Wrestler you dislike does the same = back to answer a.
Have I got it right?

Few wrestlers are draws but they often heavily rely by the angle or feud or storyline or on how much focus they have.
It's similar to hockey where the goalies are often good as the defensemen that surrounds them. An elite goalie will still play lights out amazing and over achieve if they have the crappiest defensemen protecting him but you'll notice more faults and flaws and chinks in the armor then you would have if they were surrounded by a good defensive unit.
The current mega draws like The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, etc have their reputations and part time schedule protecting them making them extra special. But if they were full time wrestlers and just like all of the active full time roster, have off nights, bad promo nights, be in a bad feud, suffer from a bad booking decision, or not being the focus of the show as they should be, they would lose drawing power.

Nobody draws individually anymore.
The only thing that draws is the WWE brand name.
FACT.
