You can tell WWE doesn't follow the lore of the Mist. Blue Mist puts you to sleep so Dominik should have went to sleep.

Lol, exactly, and I am glad you mentioned it because most people forget about the lore of the "mist". Now if it was Black Mist Dominik would have been blinded and Jamie Noble would be having flashbacks.

Raw last night tied its all-time record low audience on the USA Network with 1.47 million viewers, and did its third-lowest 18-49 rating on the network in history at a 0.37.

The viewership number ties the July 5, 2021 Raw for the show's lowest on USA Network. There was an episode that was moved to Syfy and did 1.39 million viewers earlier this year against the Olympics.

This week's Monday Night Football game also did lower than usual with the New England Patriots vs. Arizona Cardinals averaging 10.25 million viewers and drawing a 2.89 in 18-49, broken down as 9.12 million viewers and a 2.47 rating on ESPN and 1.13 million and a 0.42 on ESPN2.

Raw was seventh for the night on cable, behind only NFL-related programming. Raw was ninth with women 18-49, seventh in men 18-49, seventh in people 18-34, seventh in women 12-34, and eighth in men 12-34.

What's notable is the ratings pattern was completely different from the past two weeks, which had high first hours and set records for the largest declines in the nearly 30-year history of the show.

This week Raw started very low, increased in hour two, and fell down in hour three, but hour three was well above last week's record low. So that means the Seth Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley match anchoring the episode kept the audience far better than in several weeks.

Raw was down four percent in viewers from last week, down nine percent in 18-49, and even in 18-34.

From one year ago, Raw was down six percent in viewers, down three percent in 18-49, and up 19 percent in 18-34. If you go by actual percentages of homes the show is in, factoring out cord cutting, the annual change is favorable with only a one percent drop in viewers, a three percent increase in 18-49, and a 26 percent increase in 18-34.

The first-to-third hour drops were only four percent in women 18-49, 10 percent in men 18-49, 12 percent in women 12-34, a 14 percent increase in men 12-34, and a five percent drop with people over 50.

The three hours were:
  • 8 p.m. 1.48 million viewers
  • 9 p.m. 1.55 million viewers
  • 10 p.m. 1.39 million viewers

that 3 hour always hurts so much. I think ppl need to also see this stuff and realize Smackdown is an outlier and wrestling is usually down as a whole at the end of the year . Especially with no December or January PPV to hype up
