Raw Live Raw thread, November 14th 2022: Seth “Freakin” Rollins clashes with Finn Bálor

[Brandon Blaze]

I’m just a huge Theory mark lol, so I surely jumped the gun. But in my defense, look at some other people I been a fan of and it’s like what I’m use to. Like I’m a Ziggler fan, and look how his career went. So I let the past and how others I liked have been treated and just figured it’s the same shit again as always.

If there's anything to learn from this, it's to give stuff a chance to play out under the new regime and to trust they have a plan in place.

Yeah I already was, I think that's why all these I told you so comments are so fun to me bc I don't have to pretend to like the cash in to think the future is still gonna be fine. Blaze on the other hand....

Bit refreshing that the fans of both major companies have faith in long term booking now tho for the most part

 

[Chris]

That's easily been the best part of WWE since HHH took over, even if stuff doesn't stick and they pivot, it feels like everything is booked with some kind of purpose and not just to fill time or on a whim to be forgotten about next week

Trade the case for the 24/7 title in the trash Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

yes not having to constantly ask WHY THOUGH is a big thing he fixed. even when i read the cash in happen and it was bad, i still at least understood that ya they needed to get the case off off him because they had no plans with him having it. with the previous regime half the stuff felt like it happened just because Vince decided that day

Yeah I made a joke about that when Nikki did it. Was like hopefully Truth comes back and finds it in the trash in an arena miles away

shame that she missed the trash can so it probably won't be caught until the magical trash teleporting system

 

[Comrade Khan]

also to be fair to HHH he had a lot of shit to fix and people to rehire

Some of the reboots haven't been the most smooth but I get separate entertainment with how much it reminds me when people takeover a new company in TEW and so exactly the same things lol

Even though the NFL competition was tougher, Raw was slightly up from last week, averaging 1.65 million viewers and drawing a 0.44 rating in 18-49.

The Monday Night Football game with Washington ending Philadelphia's undefeated record did 12.77 million viewers and a 3.81 in 18-49. It only aired on ESPN.

Raw was sixth for the night on cable, behind the game, the postgame show, the kickoff show, and SportsCenter after the game.

Aside from ESPN, Raw beat everything on cable. It also beat ABC throughout prime time, beat CBS after 8:30 p.m., beat NBC after 10 p.m., and beat Fox after 9 p.m. In the 9 p.m. hour it was behind only the NFL and The Voice on NBC. In the 10 p.m. hour it beat everything but the NFL.

Raw was seventh in women 18-49, trailing the three NFL broadcasts, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, and 90 Day Single Life. It was sixth in men 18-49, sixth in 18-34, fifth in women 12-34, and sixth in men 12-34. It was 22nd for the day in total viewers behind four NFL-related shows and 17 news shows.

Raw was up three percent in viewers from last week, up three percent in 18-49, and up two percent in 18-34. The NFL game was up 21 percent in total viewers and up 20 percent in 18-49 from last week.

From one year ago, Raw was up four percent in viewers, up five percent in 18-49, and up 33 percent in 18-34. Factoring in homes that no longer get cable, the real percentage increases were nine percent in viewers, 10 percent in 18-49, and 38 percent in 18-34.

It's the usual post-daylight saving time pattern with viewers starting out high and declining throughout the show.

With Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor as the main event, the show dropped similarly to last week from hour one to three.

Women 18-49 dropped nine percent from the first hour to the third, men 18-49 dropped 17 percent, women 12-34 were up 11 percent, and men 12-34 were down 22 percent. People over 50 were down 19 percent.

The three hours were:

• 8 p.m. 1.79 million viewers
• 9 p.m. 1.68 million viewers
• 10 p.m. 1.47 million viewers

WWE Raw ratings up despite tougher NFL competition

Raw was up slightly in both total viewership and the 18-49 demo.
