That's right. Their ratings and share are consistently going down, but they are still near the top in terms of demographics, often bested by stuff like Love & Hip Hop, which doesn't have the same pedigree and guarantee for prolonged success. That third hour, sucky as it is, often beats everything else in the slot too. It performs much lower than hour one or two, but comparatively, it's WWE's most successful.
