Raw Live Raw thread, October 18th 2021: Charlotte Flair to defend Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair

[Chris]

Gonna try catch parts of this later but I genuinely have no clue what they're doing with the Womens belts, if they have Becky retain at Crown Jewel I swear

Either belt switcheroo or unification duh

See while I think that's an outside possibility, I honestly just think Sasha wins at CJ and then Bianca gets another match with Charlotte or something on the following Raw or Survivor Series.

I don't wanna say swerve but I feel like they're just trying to make the Crown Jewel match winner less obvious?

 

[Chris]

Could be yeah, I def see a Bianca vs Charlotte match being likely with the finish last night

I read about Kross getting a character revamp, I hope it goes the Sean O'Haire way as it seemed to be.

A bright side to a shit rating from noted WWE shill, Dave Meltzer

What's notable is that the audience started low. The first hour at 1.58 million viewers and a 0.38 in 18-49 were both the lowest numbers in Raw's history, but the show held its audience well from there, growing in the demo, with a second hour rise in total viewers. Hour three was up in 18-49 from hour one and the amount of viewers was even, which almost never happens. This has to be attributed to the Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair Raw Women's Championship match holding the audience better than almost all main events do.

No one going to bring up that NFL biggest demo is also people over 50?

Or that every show on that lists biggest demos are over 50?

Almost like it's mainly old people who still can be tracked by this outdated metric.
