Originally Posted by PWI Over the weekend, former WWE/now ESPN on air talent Johnathan Coachman tweeted that something big was upcoming with his former and current employers. As it turns out, ESPN will be doing a weekly segment on SportsCenter recapping the Week In WWE. Tonight, Seth Rollins will appear and be interviewed by Coachman. He appears on ESPNews tonight at 9 p.m. ET.

It turns out that Gunn was the one who got Storm into talks with WWE officials. Gunn and Storm are said to be really good friends outside of the business and Gunn reportedly arranged for the two sides to begin discussions. Regarding a recent report that said TNA learned of Storm attending Takeover and started throwing more money at him, that may not be entirely correct. TNA did contact Storm when they heard he was at NXT as they wanted to book him for their upcoming tour of India but they likely did not offer him more money than what they offered him last week.

Originally Posted by ShowBuzzDaily.com Monday's episode of WWE RAW, with Kane vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match, drew 3.285 million viewers. This is down 3% from last week's 3.378 million viewers and another new record-low. For this week's show, the first hour drew 3.518 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.254 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.082 million viewers. RAW was #4 for the night in viewership behind the NFL on ESPN, MLB on TBS and ESPN SportsCenter. RAW was #5 for the night in the 18-49 demographic, behind the NFL, SportsCenter, both MLB games and Love & Hip-Hop.

New record low for 2015 and the 3 Hour era in general. Another website broke down how bad the drops are getting and the WWE has lost around 700k viewers on average since Summerslam.

Originally Posted by Observer Attracting demos isn't what Raw is about. I've never heard anyone in WWE talk about demos and even in their internal memos, the demos are pointed out but not prioritized. Raw is about upping the prime time network average for USA. They are not strong for advertisers on USA no matter what their demos are and with rights fees, vs. advertising revenue, USA makes very little money on the deal. But without Raw, they go from challenging for No. 1 to also-ran position they are deathly afraid of. It's also why nobody else wanted them at anywhere that price. It's also why the declining numbers aren't as bad as they seem, because USA is declining with them, and the more USA declines, the more valuable Raw is to them. The issue is if USA, which is overall super profitable, has an issue with profits, they may cut the least profitable shows. That's why WWE & USA are both trying to push the idea that they aren't low brow, so they can get more advertisers not to shun them.

In regards if USA Network will end up getting involved to improve things and the short answer is no. USA is struggling just as bad overall but have nothing on tap that could replace RAW or help out.

Over the summer, a pilot video surfaced online for a new show titled, “WWE NXT Kids” featuring children interviewing NXT wrestlers and doing commentary over NXT matches with Corey Graves. Now it appears that WWE is moving ahead with the project
