This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw for Manchester, England garnered an average viewing audience of 3,173,333 viewers on the USA Network. That’s down an average of (-74,667 viewers) from the week prior. Below is how the show did each hour:
Hour one – 3,480,000 viewers
Hour two – 3,177.000 viewers
Hour three – 2,863,000 viewers
Average – 3,173,333 viewers

New historic low even with the excuse of it being a taped show. For some comparisons, 3rd hour lost around 1 million viewers compared to last year's UK show and around 800,000 for the show average.

There was a lot of crowd sweetening on Raw with the post-production, most notably during the segment with Roman Reigns at the start of the show. At one point you could actually hear people booing Roman Reigns and then the crowd audio changed and the boos turned into cheers.
Reports from the arena are that the crowd was hot throughout the night but it didn’t come across that way on television because of the crowd sweetening.

I saw him on NXT, like his second match, and saw him just chop and beat and grind and beating his guy down and doing it the old school way and really understanding how to get heat, doing it the old school way and I said, ‘that’s the guy’. I said, ‘that’s the guy. I don’t care if he looks like a wrestler [or] looks like an ice cream salesman. I don’t care. That’s the guy.'”

Big Show may have suffered an injury at tonight's WWE live event in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
During a Street Fight against Demon Kane, Big Show was chokeslammed trough a table and landed "quite bad" according to reader Chris Kinkead. The referee quickly called for medics to come down and check on Big Show. Another referee also came down and ended up counting Kane's three count on Big Show.

TNA is reportedly still in talks with a few different networks and those networks have more viewership than Destination America currently has.

As seen this past week, it was ESPN and Jonathan Coachman that broke the news of Seth Rollins being injured and forced to drop the WWE World Heavyweight Title. WWE even credited ESPN with the scoop. On Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez confirmed a report from Court Bauer on MLW Radio that said we can expect to see ESPN breaking more WWE stories in the future with WWE crediting them. Apparently this is part of the new working relationship between the two companies. It's also expected that ESPN will provide in-depth coverage from WrestleMania 32 next year.

Former TNA Knockout Sarah Stock (Dark Angel, Sarita) is also now working with women at the Performance Center. In another backstage note from Breaking Ground, the show has indicated that NXT General Manager William Regal teaches the promo classes but usually the one teaching those classes is Ryan Katz, former indie wrestler GQ Money. Katz was said to be a "Dusty Rhodes Guy" and worked closely with The Dream before his passing.

He flat-out said Alberto will not, in fact, be returning to Mexico for any dates for AAA, which was pretty much clear as soon as he no-showed the event last Sunday on a day that he had no other commitments for WWE. He will be working the upcoming WWC show because WWE has a working relationship with WWE Hall of Famer Carlos Colon.
