The key is that even though there are more viewers of Dancing With The Stars (11.64 million) than the NBA game (8.1 million), the latter seems to have impacted Raw more significantly ...
The three hours were:
8 p.m. 3.38 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.30 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.89 million viewers

1st hour saved RAW in regards to the bad historical stuff since it went unopposed for any real competition.

Him and Stephanie have been selling a ton of stocks over the years but the family combined still holds enough to keep a majority ownership active. https://twitter.com/adecorativedrop/...74010999246848

They also pushed WWE's YouTube numbers and worldwide exposure, and are hoping for the success Regan had with Ronda Rousey, and in particular trying to attract a non-wrestling audience to purchasing the book thinking McMahon hasn't had a lot of mainstream media coverage, and in particular they could market her heavily in women's magazines.
The book is apparently also designed to attempt to break her out into a larger media figure with a contemporary approach to the media.
The book is particularly aimed at women, and S&S notes 40% of the television viewership of WWE are women, and pushing her as a mother of three girls who has to balance a home life with being Chief Brand Officer for the company.

Nikki Bella noted she will find out in July if she can return to the ring but right now, it appears the bone in her neck is fusing properly. She teased a Summerslam return.
