Uh, 1.951 < 1.986 million viewers. Sorry to sound like a jerk (although my friends say I'm a jerk all the time) to correct you, but that would be slightly down from last week.
Seriously, I thought the Cena Celebration would've put Raw over the 2 million viewer mark. The rating is still good but had to be disappointing for WWE.
4 shows in 2022 over 1.9 million, and 2 are the last 2 weeks during summer when ratings traditionally go down. That’s not disappointing.
It is disappointing if you compare the numbers to a few years ago when they were pulling 3-4 million viewers.
