RAW Ratings Plummeted After Roman Reigns' Predictable Win At The Disastrous BACKLASH PPV

Backlash has been called one of the worst WWE PPVs in recent memories and it appears as if RAW's viewers agreed with critics because a huge number of them ended up tuning out of the show this past Monday.

Backlash was not a good PPV and the fact it wrapped up with another predictable Roman Reigns win when he speared Samoa Joe for the 1-2-3. While WWE appears to be committed to their Roman Reigns experiment, fans decided to tune out of RAW this week in what appears to be a pretty clear sign that they've had enough of seeing The Big Dog main event show after show

This week's RAW managed to draw a total of 2.68 million viewers. That's a huge drop from last week's 3,066,000 million viewers and just goes to show fans weren't interested in the Backlash fallout.

The show never managed to top 3 million viewers with hour one drawing 2.79 million viewers, hour two drawing 2.73 million viewers, and hour three finishing the night with 2.55 million viewers. That's not a bad drop, of course, so chances are WWE will find something else to blame for these ratings - the fact it was up against the NBA Playoffs, for example - rather than Roman Reigns.
