In terms of TV ratings, the WWE is struggling by their own past standards. Yes, the Olympics are on, but damn.

"WWE Raw TV Ratings Tracking

August 8: WWE Raw scored a 2.05 TV rating, down 11 percent from a 2.30 rating last week.

It was the third-lowest TV rating of the year behind the historically-low 1.87 on the Fourth of July and a 2.03 rating on June 13 against the NBA Finals.

– Raw’s three hours averaged 2.911 million viewers, down 12 percent (about 403,000 viewers) from last week’s audience of 3.314 million"

That's cool, Nia Jax's shirt has added one that just says "I'm not like most"

Surprised how quickly WWE made it right.

Orton continues to be boring as hell. Every time he is on screen is dreadful.

Bad Smackdown. They have bad main eventers (except for AJ) and is dragging the show down.

Also, Breezango didn't even show up with the other teams. The Ascension is given a chance over them, what a disgrace.

This episode was no fun at all except for The Miz and a good showing by Becky, Bliss and Eva.

Dean is just the worst. I'd take Roman over Dean. Yeah I said it.

Roman is much better in ring than Dean at this point. And while Dean is still better on the mic, Roman has improved there as well, so he might overtake him completely in a few months.

Seth is still leagues above both of them in every category though.

Seth is not leagues above Dean in promos. I don't even like Dean and Dean is in another hemisphere above Seth's stocky generic heel promos. Roman has better paced matches than Seth as well and generally can build up a finish in a match more excitingly than Seth.

Seth's athleticism is the only thing he's 'leagues above' anyone on.

She was pretty cringey when she was with Enzo and Cass, so now that she's on her own, she's really suffering. Did she ditch the accent, at least?

Also, Staten Island is such a shit hole so to declare yourself the Princess of Staten Island is funny lol.

Nope, still has it and the funniest part is she's from Boston....

Dammit, I can already tell I'm going to watch UFC 203 for the Punk fight.

Is the best bet to pay (I'm guessing) $60 for ppv through my cable or does the UFC app have a cheaper way to watch?

Dean excels at promos, and since WWE is a promo-driven company, he's by far the best.

He sucks in the ring. That's something I care less and less about these days. But he's doing what neither Seth or Roman have done - having a good title program, and with Dolph freaking Ziggler of all people. Ziggler hasn't been slouching either, though.

It's a New Day, yes it is.

Hope you all are proud that you ran off the last great big man in Dave Bautista because you didn't get your way.

Seth is the best at everything. Even promos. He very rarely relies on cheap heat, except for clowning on the Braves weeks ago.

Yep, Smackdown is really turning out well. Very happy to see it. I agree that he isn't the best in the ring but fuck it, this program is good. That's what matters to me, I'm entertained so I'm happy.
