Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte was retaining all the viewers for the 3rd hour. Fast-forward to present day and they can't retain viewers at all and the women's division is now getting 5 minutes on a 3-hour show. It's pretty obvious how thin the RAW women's roster is, they need to have Becky on both shows and last night Charlotte had to come over.

Most promising was the fact that the audience never dipped below three million viewers for any of the three hours of the show.

This bodes extremely well for the women’s division and the idea of giving both newer faces and better wrestling more time on Raw going forward. It also in small part might speak to the truly abysmal 2016 NFL season. But we’re more than happy giving Sasha and Charlotte the credit, because that was one hell of a match and a very enjoyable Raw.

Stop being so passive aggressive. Such a feminine trait.

Anyway, that was in 2016, almost three years ago. Neither of them are moving the needle now. Women's wrestling wasn't a draw long term. Wrestling itself isn't a draw. There's nothing Sasha Banks can do to change that.

Ronda/Becky quarters were holding up, it’s jusy whenever the other women like Ruby/Sasha/Bayley got involved the numbers dropped. I say it’s less the actual talent and more how they’re presented. Sasha was a difference maker when she was presented like one. I remember in 2013-14, Daniel Bryan segments dropped ratings until they stopped the goatface and joke shyt and started booking him seriously. Then Bryan became a ratings difference maker until he had to give up the belt.
