Raw Live Raw discussion thread, July 29th 2024: (LIVE ON SYFY) Seth Rollins to deliver Referee Instructions to CM Punk and Drew McIntyre

Liked Liv's promo.....Still think Dom will turn on Rhea and help Liv though. Can't see Dom as a face for some reason just doesn't make sense for anything but that , but it's making good TV that's for sure.

Finally the debut of the Wyatt Sicks next week!!!! Can't freakin' wait!!

 

[Tommy MBE]

That was a decent show again RAW I liked how the ending went balors chest off those brutal chops and Gunther wins with a sleeper. Gunther has so many tricks to put you down, really impressive win and now we wait for summerslam.

Damn priest can throw impressive looking punches. You know it's not going to be pretty the match but I tend to think if I went with my heart GUNTHER but guts telling me Priest.

Who knows.

It was weird to hear Dexter speak for the first time.

Basically done catching up on the first two hours now, good show overall. Didn't have anything crazy happen, but I can't imagine they will on Syfy the next two weeks even for SummerSlam build and fallout. Drew/Punk/Seth and the Wyatt's in-ring action were big highlights

Dakota / Damage CTRL gonna be got soon​

 

[Y2Jayne]

Makes sense, they betrayed Bayley. Nikki going against them alone might be tricky though, so maybe that will be their way to reintroduce Alexa.

I feel like facing Gunther is the worst thing ever cause he doesn’t hold back on those chops

 

[Tommy MBE]

I said earlier they're brutal has hands that are huge . He done it on his back.

WWE Raw ratings down against Olympic coverage

Raw’s ratings fell against ongoing Olympic coverage.

www.f4wonline.com

The go-home show for SummerSlam did shockingly well on Syfy with 1.41 million viewers and a 0.51 in 18-49 based on a first report by Pro Wrestling Torch.

That meant about 48 percent of the viewers were between 18 and 49, a number WWE programming almost never gets. While down a little in 18-49, it appears the vast majority of the viewers lost to the Olympics and the move to the new channel were over the age of 50.

Wow did not expect that on Syfy

 

[Barry Poppins]

If you book it well, they will come.

Wow did not expect that on Syfy

They essentially kept their entire audience with a channel change except for old people, borderline unprecedented. Only like Rampage maybe might have a stat like that just from having fewer viewers total and probably more dedicated in general too

 

[Barry Poppins]

I think it does show that WWE really is in the midst of another golden era for television that they can have that kind of retention from a temporary channel change.
