WWE says more people watched this year's SummerSlam than any before. Too bad they tuned in to see such a poorly-booked show!

But even more disrespectful was how high of a rating AEW Rampage got from CM Punk's return, drawing over a million viewers and a .53 in the precious 18-49 demo The Chadster nearly spit out a mouthful of White Claw Seltzer when he heard about this rating, because a .53 is within the range of[...]

It's only been a week, but already the shine is starting to wear off WWE Raw since the return of the fans With no John Cena segments booked for TV this week, can Raw hold viewers' interest with this week's episode? That was a rhetorical question We all know the answer is no. Just give R-Truth[...]
