One more point. They've been giving away free matches in tv for years. Ratings are dwindling. We could only guess that people have found other forms of entertainment on Monday nights that better hold their attention.
The big match is seemingly not much of a draw. Maybe if they took thethree hours of television and used it to invest in the talent that's being grossly underutilized, and gave them real direction and character arcs, the ratings would come back.
The fact that Raw's viewership is consistently dwindling, imo, speaks to the lack of care and concern in which the WWE writes and develops its flagship show and the roster they have at their disposal.
