I was not expecting that number at all. Better time slot than Rampage, but they were going against the NFL as well. And it's not like that was positioned as some kind of major supershow.

It’s true, valid explanation. Next week there’s a playoff game. WWE is used to having the NFL out of the way to run up to the Rumble. Now they’re only gone for 1 week instead of 3 or 4.

Raw 1.613m/.43

I’m curious on the quarters because the MNF playoff game was over early. This still held up well, I think I’d like to stop hearing that Raw gets crushed because of MNF and maybe they don’t keep viewers because they don’t want to watch.

Too busy living rent free in your head.

If there's a term in this world that could vanish and never be heard again, it's "rent free"

You're not on my level, Juss Prichard. Not even close.
