Audience erosion continues for WWE's flagship show as he 10/1 edition of Raw averaged 3,502,000 viewers, dropping significantly from last week and the over four million viewers that they averaged just two weeks ago. As the chart below shows, it's been a downward spiral for WWE since they went to three hours in July. The reasons for the audience drop are obvious, to most people at least. Hopefully the person that matters most will start taking heed.
It is officially time for concern for the company.
