11 Reasons Seth Rollins Will Lose The WWE Title At Payback
11. Low Raw Rating
The news that the May 4th Raw crashed in with just 3.57 million viewers was a blow to WWE. It represents the lowest viewing audience for a non-holiday or football season Raw since 1997. That's bad. So bad that WWE are probably looking at ringing in the changes. The 5% slip from last week can only be explained by an apathy for the product. Would that slip have occurred had Randy Orton won the title at Extreme Rules? Probably not. The mainstream casual audience is just so different to the minority passionate audience. The Rollins title run may appeal to some viewers, but he's more of an unproven on the mainstream stage. Dave Meltzer tweeted in reaction to the low rating, Id hate to be working in WWE creative this afternoon [] The non blind guy saw the ratings. Changes are coming and Rollins' title run could be one of them.
