In what seems to be a weekly pattern this fall, the September 28, 2015 episode of Raw set another record low, drawing 3.32 million viewers last night. With the exception of a Christmas Eve show in 2012, it was the lowest viewership for an episode of the show since 1997.

Correspondents at last night's RAW event sent word that WWE did not show the matches to the live audience on the big titantron screen during the show, but instead displayed a gigantic RAW logo.
This could have been the reason why the crowd was noticeably dead at last night's show because very few fans could see the matches and/or what was going on most of the time. A majority of the fans were standing up, which made visibility even worse, especially if you were seated behind fans with signs.

Been a recent trend the past couple of weeks with the feed on the big screen getting cut off for those in cheap/bad seats.

According to F4WOnline.com, last night’s WWE Raw storyline featuring Kane being evaluated by HR was actually inspired by real-life events in the company and the Bill DeMott controversy from earlier in the year.
As noted, the woman who played “HR Ashley” was in fact Ashley Osterrieder and she is the actual director of human resources at WWE headquarters.

During an interview with Channel Guide Magazine, Paige talked about why she decided to drop a pipebomb promo. Here's what the former WWE Divas Champion said:
“I felt like the whole ‘Divas Revolution’ thing started to get stale,” she said. “I thought it definitely needed a kick in the ass a little bit. Vince [McMahon] and our writers were so cool with the promo. They definitely gave me the freedom to say what I wanted. I kept it as tame as possible. I wanted to go a little bit harder, but I thought, ‘Nah, I’ll save it.’
“It was definitely an adrenaline rush. I wanted to be the bad guy and am happy to be the bad guy. I don’t mind being hated. But the crowd was so receptive to it and great. They were cheering most of it. I was like, ‘No, that’s not the way it was supposed to be.’ It was great. I was very nervous before doing it. I just wanted to get out there and kick some butt and light a fire under the ‘Divas Revolution’ again.”
“I feel like that a ‘Pipe Bomb,’ or ‘Paige Bomb’ as I call it, is what was needed. Now a team has split up and everyone is going for everyone, which is great. I’m looking forward to seeing where everyone else goes.”
She also explained why she thought the Divas division need a spark:
“It was cool the first couple of nights with the NXT girls coming up,” she said. “It was something new and fresh. Then we kind of went back to this stale state of having tag matches. We weren’t telling a story. Where was this going? With the whole Charlotte and Nikki [Bella] story, it was similar to me and Nikki. People were complaining about that.”

Scott Fishman has a new article online for Channel Guide Magazine featuring quotes from Nikki Bella to promote the season finale of Total Divas, which promotes Dolph Ziggler saying he still has feelings for her. Below are highlights from the piece.
Regarding the hate that gets spewed in her direction:
“I ignore it,” Bella said.
“Even though I see the hate on social media, and it shocks me. It shocks me the rumors people start, that I have the title because of my boyfriend. If that was the case I would have gotten the title when I came back years ago and still had the title. He has nothing to do with it. He has nothing to do with anyone’s story or anything like that. He has zero pull. We talk about it all the time because it’s funny how people say that.
“I think where it started was for a year AJ had a voice on WWE TV and all of us on ‘Total Divas’ didn’t. Then Vince [McMahon] didn’t want the title on any ‘Total Divas’ member because he didn’t know how it would transition on Sunday night and Monday in case there was a title change and the show was airing.
“So for a year she got her run through all the girls. I was the only one she really didn’t. She got to say these things that weren’t true, but we didn’t get to speak back. So I felt like that is where the perception of Brie and I really started. She said things like we came back for reality show and all this stuff. It was all untrue. While this is happening, I’m working twice as hard to be better and improve my craft to become the next diva’s champion.”
Hate because of who she dates:
“There is a part of me where it hurts my heart a little bit. I give these fans everything I have. I give them my personal life. I give them my body. I give them everything I can weekly, and that is what they say back? So it’s sad to me. I hope one day they can look back and say, ‘Wow. She actually did try hard and wasn’t a bad wrestler. She is here for the right reasons, and it has nothing to do with her boyfriend.’
“I get it. When you are on a reality show that is top rated and dating this successful man who is in the same business as you are and you have a twin sister who is married to someone in the business who happens to be successful, I think that is where I get the hate. They say I have it all, but I have worked for every single bit of what I have. It took me almost nine years to have that championship and have a decent run. Not only that but if I didn’t really put my life out there and gave it my all, the [Total Divas’] could have failed. We wouldn’t have gone past season one. I give every day of my life to that show. So hopefully one day they will be grateful that I’m doing it for all of them.”

Dirtsheets at the time teased the original plans for AJ's "pipe bomb" promo was meant to lead to something big before getting scrapped because a few people complained backstage. Been assumed it was the Bellas since they were visibly upset during the promo itself and lashed out a bit on social media after the show.

According to the most recent report from the Wrestling Observer, there are currently plans in place for The Rock to be a participant in what is supposed to be one of the biggest cards of all-time, and his opponent will be none other than Triple H.
This is something that has been teased a few times, including at this past WrestleMania in Santa Clara, California. He was involved in an altercation with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon and he enlisted the services of Ronda Rousey to help him. This led people to believe that we could see a mixed tag at WrestleMania 32, but that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. Not to mention, it doesn’t seem all that plausible that Rousey will be there at all in any capacity.

Supposedly Rock recently rejected the idea of facing Brock as a possible match option for Mania. Rousey is busy with a film that's being made around the same time as the Road to Mania and Mania 32.

It appears as if former NWO and DX member Sean "X-Pac" Waltman sustained a potentially serious injury this weekend while wrestling at an indy event. Waltman posted a photo, saying that he was going to have to get an MRI on his arm, speculating that be may have a torn bicep and pec. Former TNA Champion Magnus took to Twitter to wish Waltman a speedy recovery, and note that X-Pac put the fans first and continued wrestling.

The title is showing right now on WWE’s Home Video schedule as in the works for next year, planned as a 3 disc DVD and 2 disc Blu-ray – with a documentary main feature!
One personality who is sure to show up in that documentary is WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson, credited as inventing the Royal Rumble match concept. The 30-man classic is close to 30 years old, dating all the way back to January 1988 and still going strong to this day.
Expect to see some Rumble-themed extras in addition to the main portion, in a similar format to “The True Story of WrestleMania” DVD and Blu-ray released by the company in 2011.
