www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/news/1214644-usa-network-reportedly-furious-over-raw-ratings-wants-a-more-adult-show WWE RAW viewership hit a record low this week and non-surprisingly the USA Network isn’t happy with the show’s declining ratings. However, the demand for a different feeling show might surprise you.
According to TalkSport, the USA Network is furious about the record-low viewership and declining ratings. It’s said that the network wants “more adult content … not sexy adult, but dark and violent adult.” It’s said that WWE is looking to use the upcoming Royal Rumble as a reset for the company creatively.
This week’s RAW drew only 1.526 million viewers across its three hours. This is down significantly from the previous week, which had 1.736 million tune in. It’s a new low for the show, and a far cry from the 2.437 million that tuned in on Feb. 17 earlier this year.Well I hope this is true. Even with WWE lackluster creative state, it seems like they were appeasing to the network for a lot of their programming. Now it may not be an excuse.

I feel like every time USA suggests anything whatsoever it results in profoundly shitty television. They're pretty much the entire reason we've been stuck with R-Truth telling the same joke every single week for over a year and a half.

I could have sworn a similar headline came out about this a year ago which then produced that Lana/Liv storyline. Nothing's gonna be done as long as Vince is in charge.
Now Triple H? We've seen he can do it as shown with NXT. This Xia/Boa storyline is not only dope and creative but it's dark.
Don't think the main roster (with Vince at the helm) could pull that off.

USA Network: PG Sux! Bring back the Attitude era! Weirdly enough, Vince’s introduction to the Attitude Era was titled “Cure for the Common Show”, which was USA Network’s slogan at the time.

As I said in the other thread, USA coming up with these dumb ideas and temporary bandaids are probably one of the reasons WWE is where it is instead of, you know, demanding a restructure of what is essentially their only cash cow right now so it could still actually attract viewers.
Stop putting band aids on the hull and buy a new damn hull.

I don't see how dark and adult content would improve ratings when Raw is just very boring to watch.

I feel like some variation of this story has leaked out for like the past three years.
