Wonder what happened? They’ve been doing pretty good lately with the show quality and the numbers were solid.

Not that I know whether stuff aired on Friday, maybe the news factored in?

Especially some stuff going on as I speak that we obviously can’t talk about.

There were no major matches advertised and Seth was just gone for two months. It wasn't a big deal.

[Fade]

I blame Seth.

Just cause I don’t like Seth.

[Cyno]

If I had to guess, current events are going to factor into overall ratings, though we won't know for sure until we get the cable ratings. It's also a pretty big holiday weekend between Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, and Presidents' Day so a combination of that might've contributed.

News and possibly the weather (seriously, it's dangerously cold in a lot of the US, so people could have been glued to Weather Channel to check updates) might have played factors.

But no big matches advertised hurt, and their big hook was Seth coming back. Seth's only been gone a couple of months, and he was in the Rumble.

Yeah, those are factors too. It seemed like a weirdly put together show promotion wise.

Wrestling was down across the board this week due to the ongoing Political stuff and it was no different here

This is why I said it didn't really matter what went on this week, live viewership was just gonna be down and it was.

Final SD numbers: 0.57 demo, 1.99 million viewers. #3 for the night. Compared to last week, SD was down 0.08 in the demo and lost around 267,000 viewers.

[eJm]

It’s not THAT big a drop but yeah, politics took a bit from that number.

Should be back to normal this week with less of that going on.
