Last night's TNA Lockdown edition of Impact Wrestling drew 210,000 viewers. The replay at midnight drew 87,000 viewers, making this week's total at 297,000 viewers.
This is down 18% from last week's Monster's Ball show, which drew a total of 360,000 viewers, and the 388,000 total viewers from the week before that. Last week's first airing drew 273,000 viewers and the replay drew 87,000 viewers.
It's worth noting that TNA did not rank in the Top 150 Cable Originals this week in the 18-49 demo, which is interesting as nothing on cable really ran away with the night.

Lowest since the move to POP TV. For some comparison, the previous low was 345k viewers.

Having suffered quite a few broken noses myself, I can say with certainty, this is not a post surgery photo. Note the "filter" on the photo. If he were really trying to show the graphic nature of the surgery, he would not have blurred the image. Also, I can't imagine a doctor or nurse just simply cramming gauze up his nose and doing a rather shoddy tape job. Note his eyes looking relatively normal. Most people would come out of this surgery with two massive black eyes. This is not to say that Reigns did not suffer some type of injury, and that perhaps this "surgery" was merely a ringside physician attempting to quickly reduce the injury. I showed this photo to a few doctors and they agreed that it was sketchy looking. But hey, it's pro wrestling.
