Update on backstage reaction to WWE RAW ratings drop

By Liam Power Modified 14 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share Backstage figures in WWE have responded to the news WWE RAW saw a fall in both its viewership and key demographic numbers this week, new reports confirmed. This week's show featured the in-ring debut of Johnny Gargano, who defeated Alpha Academy's Chad Gable. It also saw the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions crowned, as Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Alliyah for the belts. Additionally, Kevin Owens delivered an excellent promo on Austin Theory, and Matt Riddle was offered a spot in heel group The Judgment Day. Despite this, this week's show witnessed a fall in its ratings due to the return of Monday Night Football. However, new reports seem to confirm that the rating drop has not affected backstage morale in the company. As per Fightful Select, many backstage within "The E" were expecting a drop with the start of the new NFL season. It is also worth noting that the show has seen a rise in its ratings since the retirement of Vince McMahon back in July.
