Raw 9/26: Could This Be The Lowest Rated Raw In History?

Scrap Daddy AP holding Rollins back.

JeriKO are the best part of the show.

Main event tag team match.

I enjoyed every part of that exchange.

Ok, so just finished catching up.

Swann/Cedric vs Gulak/Lince was a good match, exactly what you'd expect if you've seen these guys before. Happy Gulak was on RAW, he's awesome.

Sasha/Charlotte bit was nothing special. This has been a very underwhelming feud. Sasha shouldn't win next week, she should win at a bigger show. She's already won the title on RAW before.

TJP/Nese. I actually dug this match. Fuck that crowd for chanting for Punk & Savage just to make themselves happy. If they opened their eyes, a good match was going on. They seemed into it prior to the commercial, but when they came back, they were turned against it. Wonder what offense happened during the break?

I don't care about Sheamus/Cesaro bickering for months until they make things work. Should've had them shake hands tonight & you have a dominant tag team. Should've had them fight Gallows/Anderson for the titles, but WWE is so hell bent on breaking the tag record, they've completely buried the Good Brothers in the process.

And worst of all, Steph brutally emasculated Foley to the point that he was cowering to her. That's the most embarrassing thing of all of this. Once again, WWE makes their authority figure a bitch, all because they want the princess to look strong.

Good CW matches, hilarious interaction in the main event with JeriKO, but other than that, a very boring RAW, which was to be expected. They fucking phoned this shit in this week. So did the crowd.

I enjoyed the heck out of Reigns & RuRu and then fell asleep. I'll have to catch the rest tonight.

Everything really. Loved the physicality, think those two work really well together, the facial expressions, the pace, the near pinfalls, the whole deal.

I don't need all matches to be jumpy flippy and ridiculously paced. I grew up on AWA. This was right in my wheelhouse.

Monday's WWE RAW, featuring the fallout from WWE Clash of Champions plus Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Chris Jericho and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens in the main event, drew 2.478 million viewers. This is down 7.7% from last week's 2.684 million viewers and the lowest audience for the show in its history.

The show started off with their most watched hour since football started earlier this month, drawing 2.850 million viewers. However, the second hour dropped 17% to 2.381 million viewers once the debate started. The audience continued to fall, drawing 2.203 million viewers for the third hour.
RAW was #15 on cable for the night in viewership, behind the NFL's Monday Night Football, the US Presidential debate with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and the various programs that covered the debate. RAW was #11 in the 18-49 demographic.

Just on cable last night, the debate drew almost 30 million viewers. The NFL drew 8 million viewers.

How many Tag team title reign records are there in the WWE? Didn't New Day just break Kendrick and Johnny Hardhammer's record?

Now Demolition has a different record? I don't understand any of that nor want to really. HOWEVER, without doing the actual math it sounds like New Day could conceivably break the record on T-Swizzle's birthday!!! (or right around there give or take a couple days)

So I'm starting to think that Cesaro and Sheamus are being put together just to burn some days off the clock as New Day head to the record........before the E finds out that Frankie Palucci and Vin Smack held the WWWWWWE titles for 518 days back in 1962 and that counts.

Eventually I'd like to see Big E challenge for one of the secondary individual titles if not the big gold itself. Plenty of time though. He's only 30.

Not gonna lie, I was rooting for Fields.

I already don't like Rich Swann.

Jay Cutler shot!!!!!!!
