Stop ruining my joke

You're jokes are worse than mine

I have no idea who that is

A big jar of mayonnaise

Cool for Piper Niven making her debut. It’s unfortunate that they had the announcers act like they don’t even know who she is, but it is what it is.

RKBro continues to be the highlight of the show. I did like Charlotte vs Nikki and Asuka vs Rhea too.

I guess it's technically cool for her, but let's be honest, it's pretty much dead in the water right from the get go. We all know how they'll spin this story and Piper's not getting out of it with any form of an elevation.
I just wonder how long it'll take, til Eva turns on Piper and they throw the first promo on the screen, where Piper's look will be put in the middle of it. WWE never learns, after all.

When your segment gets cut and you have to tweet it out yourself

 

[Butters]

imagine them saying, "sorry we can't find a minute and seven seconds on our three hour show" and then have them do Eva Marie replays for 12 minutes.

It's a tight schedule brother

Those 12 minutes are for stars.....sorry.

Last night's Hell in a Cell go-home edition of Raw averaged 1.742 million viewers on the USA Network, up 6.2 percent from last week. It's the best viewership number Raw has drawn since May 17.

In the 18-49 demo, last night's Raw drew a 0.49 rating, up 2.1 percent from the previous week. It's Raw's best mark in that category since May 10.

Of note is the fact that Raw beat the most recent episode of SmackDown in the 18-49 demo despite the fact that SmackDown is on network TV and available in about 30 percent more homes.

Year-over-year, Raw was down 10.1 percent in total viewers and down 7.6 percent in the 18-49 demo. The difference between this year and 2020 is that Raw aired opposite some big sports competition last night. Most major sports were dark at this time last year due to the pandemic.

The two NBA games on TNT last night averaged 3.9 million viewers and 3.4 million viewers respectively. There was also an NHL game that averaged 964,000 viewers on the NBC Sports Network, and the Olympic trials on NBC did nearly three million viewers.

Here's a look at the last 11 weeks of viewership and 18-49 demo numbers for Raw, along with the 10-week average prior to this week in both categories:
