>>4811156>>4811340take out the one post mania raw and this is what you get:
avg rating 04/14-06/02 -- 2.95
then after bryan drops belt:
avg rating 06/09-07/28 -- 2.94
the weeks following bryan dropping the belt the ratings stayed exactly the same lol. they just followed their normal trajectory. even went up slightly actually, compared to the 3 or 4 weeks before bryan vacated. bryan dropping the belt had no impact. ratings had already started going down during bryan's reign, as they normally do after mania, but the post mania show bumped up his average. that's literally all that happened
now post a draw that wore kickpads instead of some guy who does 900k viewers
