Raw Live Raw thread, September 13th 2021: Bobby Lashley to defend WWE Championship against Randy Orton on Raw

Wonder how low it be without the cash in. I mean honestly, what do they normally do against week 1 of MNF? Pretty sure it’s normally a low number. I wanna compare it to the avg before I really say much about it.

F4wonline.com always does a comparison from last year when they get their article up a bit later. Numbers were all fucked last year bc covid tho, I think WWE actually got a bump during football season bc it was also when they went to the thunderdome and that did better than the PC shows

 

[O-Blaze]

So might be hard to really tell off just last year.

 

[O-Blaze]

So, it’s actually lower than the last few years if I am reading this right? Yeah not good

tbf, that trend hasnt changed in 7 years according to that chart lsadly. looks liek they lose almost an average of 10% yearly (dont question my math, i didnt do any)

 

[Chris]

Oh well I could have told you it wasn't higher for sure lol the debate is how bad it is

 

[Comrade Khan]

not to mention, again for fairness: i didnt see mondays numbers but the nfl weekend numbers were extremely high in comparisson to recent years so theyve been getting football hungry fans back big time

 

[Chris]

College football ratings are way up I saw as a side point so I can imagine people are looking forward to "regular" football back after last year being all fucked

hard to say, will have to see if thing stabalize. my worry however is if there's more marquee monday nighters and no big card annouced, they may get their ass kicked again

 

[O-Blaze]

Well with the tease of the whole Cash In, I say it’s pretty bad. Even that couldn’t bring it up much. Tho I still wonder if it be even lower with no cash in.

yup, sports in general seem very high (which is interesting cuz the olympics did hella poorly, tho the maerican coverage was apparently ass)

100% would have been lower without the cash in, but the best indication of that will be the 15 minute breakdown i guess

If there was no cash in tease or last minite title match then this would def be lower

lack of fans i think is the main reason, seems to be that simple tbh just looking at numbers
