Its been a theory of Meltzer ever since Smackdown became a live show on Tuesdays. He based it off audience percentages and bumps/declines with the idea of RAW acting as a lead-in for Smackdown.

Its not something definitive since its been proven wrong plenty of times but usually whenever streaks start to occur, RAW's impact on Smackdown becomes a lot more noticeable. RAW for the past several weeks has been very unwatchable and even though Smackdown itself has been more enjoyable, the numbers are not showing it. Even worse was the lack of a bump due to no NHL or NBA games on Tuesday.
