Developer brand visibility has fallen 732,000 last week to 655,000 for the Oct. 20 show, down 11%, according to “WrestlenomicsWhile the drop is significant, the show’s viewership numbers are still above the month’s average of 641,000.
Meanwhile, the key 18-49 demographic saw an even bigger drop in percentage terms, falling from 0.14 to 0.10. More disappointingly for WWE, the rating is also below its four-week average of 0.11. October viewership and ratings, however, are higher than the same period last year, with the former up 8% and the latter up 10% respectively.
Last week’s show featured the final two quarterfinal matches of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, with Hank and Tank and the Wagner Brothers advancing to the Final Four. The show also featured a segment featuring NXT Champion Grayson Waller and former champion and #1 contender Tony D’Angelo prior to their clash at Halloween Devastation. The show ended with a brawl between Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox that ended in a no contest after Montana was arrested as all hell broke loose during the match.
