>The WWE got a shockingly big PPV boost from Extreme Rules, as Raw averaged 2.98 million viewers and was the most-watched show last night on cable television.
>Overall, Raw was up 14 percent from the past two weeks even with the Stanley Cup finals audience increasing to 5.57 million viewers and being a close second to The Bachelorette (which features Ring of Honor wrestler Kenny King) at 6.03 million viewers for the most watched show on television.
>Raw barely beat out Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News at 2.97 million viewers for the top spot on cable.

THANK YOU ROMAN
Putting Roman in a relatively big match first seems to have worked. The 3rd hour drop-off was still very big though.
One win over the GOAT out of how many weeks he has decimated them since going prime time? Enjoy your victory while it lasts because it won't last long.
>no Balor
>ratings skyrocket
Now this really makes me think...

If they were watching for him, they would have tuned out after the first match. But they didn't.

There was certainly a few key moments where raw felt very different in a positive way. Storylines are finally the focus again, some big hits, some misses still, but better than all misses.

End of April...so not exactly that big of a milestone.
So would a good tactic be to get the Roman shit out of the way first?
Advertise it ahead of time so people can skip the first half hour. This will lead to less harsh drop offs, maybe even increases from hour to hour if exciting matches are announced for later in the show.
>>2730314
Hey it worked this time, and they actually advertised lesnar a week ahead. Next week is set up pretty strong. Only problem is that's game 5 of the nba finals and it easily could make it that far.
>>2730335
There's not gonna be a game 5
They'll be right back down the tubes once Stephanie 'Emasculation Nation' returns

>massive drop in viewer numbers for the 3rd hour
>Alexa Bliss BTFO
Rumors are running absolutely wild right now, few cases of people reporting seeing signage for strowman at raw house shows in their area as soon as the 18th. That could very well mean his return is this next raw.
His opponent is the big dog for that program btw.
>>2730219
>Joe = ratings
No he doesn't his main event match with Seth contributed to losing 300,000 viewers in final hour.
