And as usual WWE followed a big rise in viewership by putting on a show that didn't make any of those people want to stick around the next week.

Man, is there any way they can f***ing shoehorn Charlotte and Baron Corbin into more shit? Obviously that's the problem, they're not on ENOUGH shit right now.

The shows a trainwreck right now. They lost one of their top draws, Charlotte is not a draw, Corbin was a proven ratings disaster a year and a half ago but sure let's pre-advertise him for the main event this week and get that sweet sweet 1.6!
Their product isn't sustainable week to week. Last week had some good feel good moments that were not here this week. And they deserve it. There is no f***ing reason things like Charlotte being on all three brands beating people and telling us "Everyone wants to see Charlotte" when the ratings tell otherwise shouldn't be happening period.
I genuinely don't think we're at the bottom yet. Will also be interesting to see the ratings breakdown for this week because the fact they already started 200k down this week says a lot.

Last week ended up just being a pregnancy bump.

Wasn't their big plan for the main event Baron Corbin?
Vince has the biggest boner for the guy, even though he's a proven anti-draw. He must think he has a shot with him.

The sad thing is that Drew McIntyre is probably the best champ they've had in a while, but he's on a show where he had to wrestle Corbin, had to follow endless goofy ax throwing contest segments, FF material women's segments, Seth Rollins's death TV act, etc. He's a solid champion surrounded by trash.
These ratings are going to get worse. They got a bounce last week over the pregnancy announcement and Edge/Orton being back, but there's just no reason to care.

There’s just nothing intereTing happening. Even a diehard like me bailed on last night’s show about halfway through.

When the big hyped match between Raw and Smackdown guys involves Baron Corbin, of course ratings were gonna fall.
Should have done Drew vs Sheamus.

There is zero competition and reruns, so they still claim the # 1 spot of the night by default

Worth noting that Charlotte was in the first hour last night and that the second hour of SD leading off with her segment with Bayley/Sasha gained viewers. While third-hour drops often happen, it’s of interest that virtually all the women’s matches/segments were in the first two hours.

Each peak is smaller, each trough is deeper.

The product just isn’t that good right now. Even I’ve stopped watching full shows - I just catch up using Youtube. They need to bring the Other King back No they don't. i hope he’s talking about King Bookah

Who would have thought Corbin in the main event in the empty arena era would be a ratings failure?

Who would have thought Corbin in the main event in the empty arena era would be a ratings failure? I mean what is the measuring stick for good ratings these days? Corbin is besides the point here. What I mean is, is it pure numbers or placement in viewing? The latter is still pretty high.

What I mean is, is it pure numbers or placement in viewing? The latter is still pretty high. For WWE's purposes it's pure numbers. That's what determines how much interest there is in their other business ventures (not terribly relevant at the moment, granted) and the main use they have to USA is shoring up their viewership average because wrestling doesn't do great with sponsors.
