Raw numbers dropped only three percent from last week's three-month high for the show coming off Battleground.

Raw averaged 3.06 million viewers, making it the most-watched show on cable television, beating Rachel Meadow on MSNBC at 2.91 million viewers, and beating everything except ABC, CBS, and NBC.

This is the third straight week that Raw has averaged at least three million viewers, which is the first time that's happened since April ...

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 3.16 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.13 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.92 million viewers
In terms of rankings, didn't get the top spot since that went to the ghost of Nitro called Love & Hip Hop show. Also in terms of comparisons, same week last year had around 272k more viewers.

As noted, AJ Styles was a heavy betting favorite in his match against Kevin Owens at this past Sunday's WWE Battleground pay-per-view once the smart money came in. The betting odds are usually accurate when the smart money is in, and Styles was the only favorite to lose his match on Sunday.

The finish of the match was awkward, which saw Owens roll Styles over while in the Crossface as a groggy referee counted three. Styles legitimately looked confused, and as noted yesterday, he stayed in the ring after the match and seemed upset. Because of the strange finish, there was some speculation that Styles might not have gotten his shoulder up in time and may have only heard the referee's hand hit the mat twice. Referees are supposed to call the match like a shoot, which would have resulted in the three count and title change.

According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, the correct person ended up winning, however the finish of the match was changed after the match had started. Alvarez said that the finish was changed in the middle of the match and not at the end. It's not known why the change was made, but the decision was made to have Owens win before the finish.

But if U want a BigFight careful what u wish for... #RAW" Reigns told Cena to come to his yard if he wants to face him.

His appearance on RAW last night ended up confirming rumors of him being injured. Doesn't seem to be as serious as his prior shoulder injury.

Due to the timing of the sales, being seen as a very bad sign for the report. Rumor going around the net involves the WWE doing a batch of talent releases by the end of the week and Emma rumored to be among those being gone.
