What was the Rollins and Lesnar angle? Is he not drafted because he is the uni chump or what? He loses the belt he needs to go somewhere, right? or will it be a free agent angle?

WWE Friday Night SmackDown Viewership Down A Million From Last Week - Wrestlezone

 

[Duffman]

Main thing to note is that WWE still won the coveted 18-49 demo for the night and no one else was really close.

Let's call it the way it is.

The absolute best part of the entire show was Bayley beating the shit out of her blow up dolls with a kendo stick.

They split the roster into two pools. Night 1 of the draft (Smackdown) drafted from the first pool. The 2nd night (Raw this Monday) will draft from the 2nd pool. Both Rollins and Lesnar are in the 2nd pool

It was down from 1.4 to 1.0 in that demo

And yet they still won the night by far over any other show meaning everything dropped but SD was still #1

They only won the night in the 18-49 demo. In week 1 they doubled everything else in that group. It's not a matter of ratings being down overall. It's Smackdown having a considerabley weaker number but that was predictable.

The question is will the ratings drop continue.

Last week's show had the Rock, a Brock title match and the novelty of being the first episode on Fox. This week had the draft and a women's title change.

Next week's number will give a more accurate idea of where the rating will settle.

 

[The Q]

Charlotte can wrestle. Nattie just makes embarrassing after embarrassing moves in the ring. Seems like a really good person but she has a name. She is a less talented and white Alicia Fox.

Nat is better in the ring than Becky.

And it's really not close.

 

[The Q]

So much ridiculous virtue signaling.

Becky Lynch 1-1? One of your weakest talents, because she's a chick?

And a terrible main even at WM, ignoring the decades of tradition with the Rumble winner getting the main event.

You don't even have to watch to know AEW is a far better product now.

Especially since I question if Fiend will be maximized on Fox when they're already getting complaints about him being too scary.

So much irony and misinformation in this post.

Not even a bit of it.

 

[The Q]

They flipped the wrong HIAC women's match from HIAC.

What was the point of having Charlote win at the PPV?

Didn't make a whole lot of sense that Heyman was running Raw, Bischoff was running SD, but Heyman was going to be on SD with Lesnar.

Significant downgrade for raw

Raw isn’t affected so how is this a downgrade?

The drop down from bischoff robpritchard is like John eldest to bubby brister

Pritchard is taking over SD which is what Bischoff was doing, Heyman is still in charge of Raw as he always was.
