The reason why WWE's numbers are falling is that it is not must-see television anymore. People watch it at their own convenience because there is no fear of the show or its storylines getting spoiled at all. It is a predictable affair, and you may, in fact, choose to watch the highlights on YouTube or log in to Sportskeeda to catch the results.
This was the only real surprise on the show this week, and one has to assume that this is one of the reasons why fans online are praising the segment so much. Almost everything WWE does gets criticized by the vocal minority that is active on Twitter, but the unpredictable nature of the Fiend's attack make for some truly compelling viewing.
A lot of viewers drop out midway through the RAW broadcast. But thanks to Wyatt's jolt in the arm, they may stick on until the very end.
