Raw had the usual pattern with a third hour drop, but the decline was nowhere close to record levels ...

The three hours for Raw were:

8 p.m. 2.42 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.32 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.08 million viewers

It was announced today that Jacob Fatu and LA Park's MLW World Heavyweight Championship match at Saturday Night SuperFight will have a no DQ stipulation. The PPV is taking place at Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois on November 2.

In storyline, Park is cashing in his golden ticket to challenge for Fatu's World Heavyweight title at the PPV. Park got the golden ticket by winning this year's Battle Riot match.

McMahon went through plans for the show several times over the course of the day via telephone during production meetings, but is not physically present at the taping ...

PWInsider.com is told that Bruce Prichard, Michael Hayes, Ed Koskey and Eric Bischoff are running tonight's TV taping.

We are told Paul Heyman, who heads the Raw side of things, is not at the taping.

Fightful Select learned this weekend that the former WWE, World Heavyweight, TNA Champion Jeff Hardy has already had his WWE contract extended for "at least" another year due to injury.

Earlier this year, WWE opted to roll over Matt and Jeff Hardy's contracts for another year into 2020. However, we're told that this decision to add time to Jeff's contract came after that.
