Some yearly ratings comparisons to show how dire things are becoming for the WWE in regards to ratings. The yearly decline amount has been around the same range (250k-500k) since end of the Attitude Era except the "record low ratings" shows have started to occur earlier every year for the past couple of years.

What helped a bit was the Cavs-Warriors NBA Finals game being around 3 million viewers lower than it was last year around the same time.

So, the total viewership was 327,000 viewers, which added up, means Impact was up a tiny amount from 326,000 viewers the previous week.

Lucha Underground Co-Executive Producer Chris DeJoseph was recently a guest on The Ross Report with Jim Ross. He stated that there has been some talk internally about extending the show from one hour to 90 minutes. "[90 minutes] is like the perfect time to get all the stories you need to in, great matches, give matches some time, and at the same time, not overdo it and keep me interested to come back next week." DeJoseph added, "the 90 minutes would be perfect. Have we talked about it? Sure. It's something that we would love to have. But in a way, I enjoy the one hour because it goes by so fast. The next thing you know, it's like, 'gosh, I have to wait a-whole-nother week for it?' And I think that's a good thing to have happen."
