Raw Live Raw discussion thread, August 5th 2024: (LIVE ON SYFY) SummerSlam Fallout + Wyatt Sicks man tag action

If you had told me one year ago we would later see babyface Priest and Rhea against Finn, JD, Dom, Liv and Carlito

 

[Y2Jayne]

Hope they don't turn this into a Rhea/Damian love angle though, that wouldn't work.

Nah. They’ve always been presented as having a brother sister relationship.

Woods bout to go all Vince McMahon in 2002:

"Only I can destroy MY creation"

 

[Y2Jayne]

Great debut for the WS, that double clothesline from Gacy was beautiful and everyone got to shine, just a shame the match ended with a lame splash when Lumis does a perfectly good-looking Leg Drop from the top rope. Or they could have come up with a trio move involving Rowan's Full Nelson Slam maybe.

Gacy’s poor back doing that walk

 

[Storm Trooper]

Nah. They’ve always been presented as having a brother sister relationship.

that wouldn't have stopped the old man back in the day lol

 

[Bobby Barrows]

that wouldn't have stopped the old man back in the day lol

Good thing he's largely a dead man lol

 

[Storm Trooper]

Good thing he's largely a dead man lol

damn right.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Cool to see Odyssey on the main roster after 2 years of purgatory.

Wonder if it’ll lead to tension between Woods and Kofi. With Woods thinking Kofi is trying to replace E

Might make him question if Kofi would just replace him like that as well.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Paranoia Woods might be entertaining

 

[Cwalker]

Look at that…

An intriguing New Day angle in 2024. Good job Hunter

WWE Raw draws impressive ratings for SummerSlam fallout

For the second straight week, WWE Raw aired on Syfy due to USA Network’s coverage of the Olympics.

www.f4wonline.com

WWE Raw grew greatly from last week for the show last night after SummerSlam, averaging 1.73 million viewers on Syfy and drawing a 0.62 rating in 18-49.

The numbers are very impressive considering the station change and Olympic competition. Generally the episode after SummerSlam does among the largest numbers of the year. This show likely would have topped two million viewers on USA and without Olympic competition and done a 0.70 in 18-49.

Syfy was the No. 1 rated cable network last night, beating USA with the Olympics. While we don’t have other show numbers at this point, it was likely second to only NBC’s Olympics coverage on all of television.

Raw was up 22 percent in viewers and up 21 percent in 18-49 from last week which would be expected for such a show.

It was down nine percent in viewers from last year, which is far less than should be expected year-over-year considering it was on a different station and with the Olympics competition, not even factoring the decline over the past year in cable coverage. It was up three percent in 18-49.
