>It appears that WWE SmackDown events are now drawing more fans than RAW events. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, in February SmackDown averaged 4,980 fans at house shows while RAW averaged 3,450 fans at house shows.
>RAW had reportedly been beating SmackDown in attendance up until the end of 2016, but John Cena’s return is being credited for turning things around for the blue brand in the first months of this year.
>Monday night RAW and Tuesday night SmackDown each average approximately 8,600 fans per show. This time last year, RAW averaged 9,800 fans per show, and SmackDown averaged 7,300.

>Raw gets Balor, Goldberg, Brock, Taker, Michaels, Trippple Man, Reigns, Rollins, KO, Jericho, New Day, Joe, Botcha, Bayley and Charlotte
>SDL has Cena, Orton, Bray and AJ
>Raw reportedly snatching AJ and getting Nakamura after WM
Why on earth do WWE not want SDL to succeed?
>>2405061
Cena is the big difference, hes the only big full time draw they have left and is leaving for months after mania
Smackdown will be fucked
>>2405063
He's been part time while SDL was improving m8, and didn't even do house shows for 4 months there. Doesn't discount the fact that Raw has a much more stacked roster yet is not performing well
>>2405064
Dean and AJ were doing some 1k house shows without Cena though
its picked up since hes come back
>>2405066
Just saying man. That Raw roster is utterly stacked and not doing comparatively well at all.

>Yes! Tuesdays show is ever so slightly less shite than Mondays show! Hoo-ray!
Smackfags are literally cancer.
