I'd assume it all depends on advertisers. FOX has a bigger reach than USA Network but I assume USA Network has a bigger reach than FS1 & FS2. RAW potentially will get a larger viewer base but doesn't mater if they can't bring in really good advertisers or keep the audience gains over time.

Biggest concern is WWE leaving a historically very friendly network (USA Network) in favor of FOX who might not be as tolerant of RAW's struggles once the big declines starts again after the honeymoon period.

Another big worry is RAW would be competing against network shows and not cable which is a lot stronger for competition than Hip Hop & Love. For example this was Wednesday's results for network shows:
