Once again Miz loses hundreds of thousands of viewers. The numbers, like my hips, don't lie.

Good news. Proves they can draw without Cena.

Good news. Proves they can draw without Cena.

I'm hoping they actually look into that. From what I recall, shows without Cena do not lose as much as they used to, and now they are even gaining. They need to know they don't rely on him as much as they think in terms of numbers/ratings.
