That's a very good point. It'll be interesting to see the rating next week.

That is true. By applying logic in the first place, I was handicapping myself.

I don't know, truthfully. I mean, the third hour was rated highly. I'm too stupid to figure out why I still even loosely follow though.

Bad - WWE likely blew their biggest chance in years to keep those viewers with how terrible the show was in general. Also bad the WWE could end looking at these numbers and think more focus on part-timers is the solution to their problems.
I see your points, but that rating is not going to matter much come negotiations. They want to get them done sooner rather than later, but if I'm NBC-U, I'm waiting for a while to find out where they're sitting at the end of 2018, and a brief pop for a special show in January isn't going to get me wet.
