Hourly averages for Raw
1: 1.804 (0.50)
2: 1.685 (0.48)
3: 1.456 (0.44)
Still #3, 4, and 5 on the night, but that third hour total viewership drop = WOOF.
Fully expecting Dynamite to dip below 900k this Wednesday. Anything higher would be impressive in my eyes.

I didn't realise the demo for Raw and Smackdown has been pretty much identical for the last few weeks. Seems like that's a drop in the smack down average and an uptick in the raw demo. Will be interesting how that goes in the next few weeks, now that we are fully out of mania season.
I expected the post mania drop for raw but not this much, this quickly. Especially after the post mania raw did so well.
If I was WWE I would move Money in the Bank to the post mania PPV, give it a 5 week build and have qualifying matches on each show. Each show has 4 wrestlers and you could make it a bit of a tournament to make it into the Money4.

Opening segment and main event. But the third hour was up against two NBA games at once, I believe. And Better Call Saul came back or something. Fully expect Raw to bounce back a bit next week, but if they did drop below 1.6 mil, that…would be something. Could see Vince starting to reach for the Cody plug if that were to happen.
if all is right and just, this tweet should get them a $200m+ per year TV deal
You'd be hard pressed to find growth like that in any other sport or tv show. Certainly not for WWE.
please AEW lacks what's most important in the TV business:
SUPERBOWL BEATING SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT!
YOUNG UP-AND-COMING SUPERSTARS LIKE EDGE AND STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
THE ROCK MIGHT SHOW UP ONE DAY, WE HAVE HIS EGG/COUSIN!
Brandon talked about his expectations a few days ago and he thinks they are likely to get around $153m with their new deal which is about a x3.5 multiplier.
Man, why the super high YouTube views in quarter 3 of 2020? That was around Moxley/MJF at All Out.
Dynamite will be going against Nets/Celtics ( and to a lesser extend Sixers/Raptors) tonight, I'm honestly expecting about 750k
Easily dipping into the 800s at the very least. Anything over 900k would be near-miraculous, and I'll consider 850k "good."
The Raw number is pretty expected overall with the basketball playoffs here and the Mania season now several weeks behind them. However, that third hour drop is pretty eye opening considering they opened the show with a segment building Cody against a mystery opponent in the main event and a sizeable portion of the audience said no thanks
This is what I alluded to earlier. It looks like an aberration for one week, but if this happens again? You can see Vince already reaching for the Cody plug.
2.4 million people were watching Raw at its peak on April 4th, yet only 1.8 stuck around for Roman's closing segment
a 600k drop it's clear Roman isn't a draw, It's not like crazy third hour drops is the norm for Raw or anything and one of many reasons why people say they should go back to 2 hours
Dipping into 1.4 mil territory outside of MNF season does raise an eyebrow regardless of the show typically dropping in the third hour, no? Playoff basketball and overall TV context is definitely a factor, too, of course.
The final quarter of Raw dipped juuuuust below 1.4 million. Damn.
Dynamite in the 700s or 800s tonight shouldn't surprise anyone. Expecting mid 800s.

Getting an adrenaline shot lasts roughly 10-20 minutes. Adrenaline in your soul apparently only lasts 2-3 weeks
Well it's definitely pulling better numbers on TBS during NBA season than it was being displaced all last season - hell yeah. I bet Warner are stoked to have 4 of the 5 top spots on cable.
A day old and slightly off topic, but Young Rock could be in some trouble. A .32 rating and 1.9 million viewers at 8 p.m. on NBC is not good at all
I watched one episode and their Vince McMahon was way too normal.
Nets/Celtics is by far the biggest NBA first round match-up, and that's what Dynamite went up against. Incredibly impressive number
Had way tougher basketball competition compared to Raw, yet the drop was minuscule in comparison.
The "Cody is a draw" train fell off the tracks after not even a month.
Good number for Dynamite, especially with Nets/Celtics as competition.

seriously - around 5 million viewers across two channels - they're loving this.
Gonna be curious to see the quarter hours. There was a lot of interesting stuff on the show last night.
MJF/Wardlow
Punk/Dustin
HOOK/Danhausen
Coffin match
Britt return
BCC
Khan announcement
Etc.

And WWE also had NBA playoffs to contend with, so there goes THAT excuse.
Yo - that is a win for Dynamite.
I think the core problem with "Cody is a draw" isn't that it was untrue - it was that lapsed WWE fans tuned in for a few weeks and saw Raw and went back to AEW where they have been hanging out for the last 2.5 years.
Even here on Era the morbid curiosity viewers stopped watching.

Honestly, even though I am a fan of Cody's, I've only ever seen his new WWE stuff on YouTube. There'd have to be months-to-years of good WoM surrounding WWE to make me ever consider watching it live ever again. It's just a top to bottom product that I have no interest in, even if I like a lot of the talent on the roster. I can't imagine curious AEW fans, lapsed fans who would tune in for a returning name, etc., having a much longer interest than I do.
I'm with you. I watched his Mania match through other means and saw his first Raw promo on YT, but I haven't watched anything since, and I haven't felt compelled to seek it out outside of listening to a rundown on a podcast. And I also generally like Cody. It just quickly sunk in that the company he works for is still WWE, and they're...well, not my jam.
