LOL complacent......that old chestnut.This week's episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live were down 30% and 25% from 2018, respectively. Raw drew a 2019-low of 2.158 million viewers while SmackDown Live logged a 2019-low of 1.833 million viewers. To put this in perspective, Raw's average viewership through 2018 saw a 32% decline over the past five years.
Though WWE's viewership annually softens in the months following WrestleMania, both numbers represented the lowest non-holiday total outside football season in company history. With the NBA still relatively early in its postseason and football season around the corner, WWE's alarmingly low viewership numbers stand to get very embarrassing, very quickly.
As has been the case, the biggest drops came among younger demographics. In the case of SmackDown Live, viewership was down 38% among teenagers and 40% among the 18-35 demo.
We are upon that time, so with that being said:
Shut your mouth @Deezy.
They're competing with every other show in their timeslots......That's how TV works genius

Let's also pretend that tv itself is suffering from dropped ratings across the board....because the Nielsen metric is dead.
Only old people still have the Nielsen box
