WWE Raw witnesses 17% drop in the third hour of the show: Report
According to a news website, at the start of the show, WWE’s viewership was around 2.100 million, and in the second hour, the viewership reached to its peak.
Despite showcasing some character-defining matches and attracting many viewers in the first two hours of the episode, WWE fell short to keep some of those viewers in the third and final hour of the show. According to Forbes, at the start of the show, WWE’s viewership was around 2.100 million, and in the second hour, the viewership went to its peak at 2.326 million. However, its viewership declined by a reported 17% on the final hour of the show.
According to the report, the 1.928 million viewers represents the lowest third-hour viewership since Raw’s season premiere on September 30. However, according to wrestling experts, this is not a big deal for WWE as the wrestling company will get back all its viewers after the Crown Jewel PPV. The PPV is also expected to bring many new viewers to the WWE network.
WWE RAW: Lana accuses Rusev of infidelity
WWE superstar Rusev was arrested a few weeks ago after confronting his rival Bobby Lashley and his wife Lana at a restaurant. As a result, Rusev and Lana were invited to the 'King’s Court' — aptly renamed 'Divorce Court' by Jerry Lawler. At the segment, Lana revealed that Rusev dominated their marriage life and always forced her to have a baby. She also revealed that her dream to become a model was also over because of Rusev and when Lashley accused Rusev of infidelity, it was all the evidence she needed that Rusev never really loved her.
When Rusev tried to deny all the accusations, Lashley appeared to the ring and the two started a brawl. Rusev was seen in total defiance and took his wedding ring off and shoved it in Lashley’s mouth. Lana then came to the ring to help Lashley and attacked her husband with a Kendo stick. Rusev grabbed the stick and Lashley downed Rusev with a pair of low blows. Lana then slapped Rusev that made him fall. Lana and Lashley humiliated Rusev by kissing each other on top of his fainted body. It's clear that it was not Rusev’s day.
