Ratings don't matter like they used to, but it is no coincidence that viewers are skipping Raw more because they have been in cruise control since they got their huge money deals.
In addition they have the huge money deal from the Saudis, a big money show in Australia, and hyping a separate charity every month while also constantly pushing the narrative of how great a company they are for showcasing women, I can see why they are just coasting.
That being said, at some point they are going to have produce better television if they want to stop losing viewers.
Raw doesn't feel like destination TV. You could have skipped the last 3 weeks and the only thing you would have missed at all is subtle teasing that Ambrose might be considering bailing on the Shield and that Lashley got a manager for some reason, and no they never explained it at all, it just is.
Other than that, you could pick right back up where you left off in early September.
