Well... this is actually a way worse rating than AEW's because its

1. National TV
2. The WWE Draft.

However they did retain the 18-49 numbers they wanted (it's also a Friday night so who knows how many that was).

The major problem is they've possible promoted themselves into a corner. If the Draft isnt strong enough for a sustained rating what is?

It's so amusing watching guys and girls draw their own battle lines and prepare to go to war; in the name of Vince McMahon and WWE of all things after over a decade of bytching about the state of the product. :dead:He hurts you so good, doesnt he? :laugh:
The funny part is they're not making a dime off of this.

The real problem is that FOX made the deal because they believed WWE would be DVR proof. Now we're seeing that after one week, 1 million people either stopped watching or decided to DVR it and watch later.

Neither of those options is what networks and advertisers want.

Okay that’s Fine. Either way Their ratings “only” dropped by 20+% ... not 25% :mjlol:

WWE also was without Dish and Sling customers for a while so that affected their ratings, but you don’t wanna mention that :sas2:

Just saying, you can’t have it both ways and only rag on WWE for a ratings drop when AEW had a massive drop off as well.

They were only without Dish and Sling last week. So you’re saying SD % drop would have been even larger. Way to shyt on your own point. Also the first night of the draft is the biggest weekly show all year beside first raw after Mania.

I wonder how they're accounting for streaming on the Fox Now and Fox Sports apps.

I watched it on there so I wouldn't have to wait for the west coast feed.
