WWE's going to be negatively affected by the NBA playoffs for however long they last. Considering how stretched out they are, it's going to be awhile.

All wrestling is gonna be hurt by this. The Playoffs are huge in ratings, and this year has a lot of interest, if any of these series go to Game 7's, may god help them if it falls on any of their days lol

But yeah, this could realistically get worse...

The NBA playoffs are doing well so far. Dynamite tomorrow is up against Celtics/Nets, so they’ll have it much worse than Raw did up against a boring Raptors/Sixers game.

[Push R Truth]

Yeah I have zero stakes in the Nets/Celtics but damn there is so much hate it's must see TV if you like basketball at all

Yeah I agree with the general sentiment that the playoffs are heavily responsible but so was Raws lackluster first show back from Mania...The only show that really doesn't get a pass is AEW's Saturday special as that is more akin to a failed movie premiere in my eyes with the lack of advertising, build, and execution...Then again they also aren't what I expected those to be (Clash of the Champions'esque) so that may be an issue as well but that's a story for the other board.

[Perd]

They should do a ten man tag, where the participants wear the jerseys of opposing NBA Playoff teams.

Wait to the Stanley Cup playoffs start too...
