Roman and Seth both getting absurd ratings stats in the same week, that's actually insane lmao
ADDENDUM: Very aware that the Stanley Cup Finals were projected to do not great, but at 1.6 it probably would have beat RAW like 2 years ago

0.56 is crazy good for a random June Raw. To put in perspective they only got higher than that 4 times in the whole of 2022. It’s not a fluke at this point, it’s been 2 months now and they’re doing better numbers post-Mania than they were doing during Mania season when normally it’s the opposite and by quite a margin.
I’m not even sure what to credit it with. Cody/Brock? Brock doesn’t appear most weeks. The Bloodline? That’s mostly all on Smackdown. Judgment Day? I love them but it’s not like they’re in some mega storyline. Becky/Trish? Becky was gone for a month and Trish also doesn’t appear every week. Realistically it’s just the overall show being hotter but until further notice I think I’ll credit the Maxxine/Otis/Gable crew for attracting a larger, prettier and more sophisticated viewership.

You say the Stanley Cup, I say the NXT Heritage Cup.

It was a good RAW, and an advertised world title match had to help even if it was a forgone conclusion
But with some nice surprise matches like KO/GUNTHER and the women's tag delivering well in ring it was one of those 3 hour RAW's that didn't drag as hard as a three hour RAW really can
Just stay on Smackdown, Paul, please lol

Everybody has something to do, stories are being told and make sense. Also little thing I guess but you can tell the wrestlers are actually enjoying themselves. You can catch Balor nearly smiling at some point during all of his promos. Everyone involved seemed to be having a party during the Miz TV segment. It's kind of infectious and makes it more fun to watch. |

It really feels like the work they put in the past year is starting to bear fruit. I’m glad.

Some characters had been building pretty well and getting super over with Vince at the helm, but I think Triple H’s more logical and cohesive storytelling and better-paced shows led to the product becoming so much easier to watch on a weekly basis. |

I think a huge part of this is that the script isn’t getting torn up and rewritten right until the show starts. So even if everything isn’t hitting it’s still able to follow a plan. |

Yeah that’s the thing. Even if not everything works, if you can just lay the groundwork where 2 out of 3 does? You can build from there. |

There's also a greater spontaneity and willingness to follow up on (some) wrestlers' ideas. Rhea being Mami originated in a tweet and her wearing an I'm Your Papi shirt for her return segment last July, Prison Dom came out of Dom sending an Office meme to a writer, and so on. |

It's weird, even with Vince's reported meddling the show was pretty good this week.
Ratingswise, though, kinda hard to find a historic Stanley Cup matchup compelling when Florida suddenly loses all discipline and forgets how to play hockey and Vegas just goes SUPLEX CITY on them. Now, it may change tomorrow with the series spending the next two games in Sunrise but I am not expecting it. So not surprised RAW held up well against what's sadly turning out to be an anticlimactic series.
