Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE officials are unhappy about the drop in viewership numbers for their new Facebook Watch series, Mixed Match Challenge. Apparently “key people” in the company are already sour on the tournament.

“Mixed Match Challenge dropped greatly in viewership. Even before this week’s numbers came in, we had heard they were very unhappy about the huge drop from week one to week two and key people were already souring on it. The second show was really bad. This week’s show felt like a harmless gimmick show but there feels like no important reason to watch.”

Here is the breakdown of the numbers since it’s debut:

Episode 1: 135,600
Episode 2: 91,900
Episode 3: 62,400

As you can see by the numbers above, the show is having a downward trend. It will be interesting to see if WWE makes some changes to the show to try to garner more viewers.

]]> Vince Russo’s The Brand Recap – Rousey Debuts, Sasha Banks Has A Close Call, Who Would Have Russo Booked to Win the Rumble? More! /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-rousey-debuts-sasha-banks-has-a-close-call-who-would-have-russo-booked-to-win-the-rumble-more/ Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:33:00 +0000 /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-rousey-debuts-sasha-banks-has-a-close-call-who-would-have-russo-booked-to-win-the-rumble-more/

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host, Jeff Lane, and former WWE Superstars, Stevie Richards and Bin Hamin.

Richards says he couldn’t understand Ronda Rousey’s debut at the Royal Rumble this past Sunday. Rousey shook Stephanie McMahon’s hand at ringside, but the last time they saw each other on WWE programming Rousey put McMahon in an arm bar. He mentions that some people are saying Rousey’s ready to be a full-time talent, but he thought she looked lost in the ring on Sunday, looking like she didn’t have a clue what to do.

Russo has a hard time believing that Asuka and Nakamura are the two performers that WWE wants to push as their top stars right now. He points out that neither of them can cut a promo, and he agrees with Lane in the sense that adding subtitles for their promos would be an improvement. He also suggests that a hot female translator would be a nice addition to Nakamura’s presentation, to accompany his rockstar gimmick.

Russo says he’d rather see Braun Strowman destroying things for 20 minutes to start RAW instead of a 20-minute match, but he’s also starting to get tired of Strowman flipping stuff over. He points out that turning over a desk is somewhat anticlimactic after Strowman flipped over an 18-wheeler just a couple of weeks ago.

This week on Raw, Stephanie McMahon made yet another historic announcement concerning the women’s division, announcing that for the first time ever, there would be a women’s Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming pay-per-view of the same name. The match, like the women’s Rumble match, had been long rumoured online and the announcement won’t have come as a surprise to many people.

The women’s roster delivered a nostalgia-filled and hugely enjoyable Royal Rumble bout and the company will be very keen to capitalise on that momentum. The important thing for them heading into the Elimination Chamber is to get the right entrants and if they can do that, then the women could really deliver a classic chamber match. Let’s take a look at who should enter the first-ever women’s elimination chamber match.

Alexa Bliss

Let’s get this one out of the way. Bliss is the current women’s champion and therefore the first confirmed entrant into the match. Is there a chance she will lose the title before the event? It seems highly unlikely, and even if she did, she would definitely be in the match regardless.  The match will be used to set up Alexa’s bout at Mania, with either Asuka coming down after the match to confirm she is going to face her, or Alexa having an altercation with someone (Nia Jax, most likely) during the match that sets up a feud.

Bliss has been an excellent champion and is an integral part of the women’s roster, having her compete in this match gives her the chance to be a part of history as, obviously, she didn’t get a chance to partake in the first ever Rumble.

WWE could be setting up Sami Zayn vs. Tye Dillinger for tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live. As seen at Sunday’s Royal Rumble event, Zayn & Owens attacked Dillinger as he was was making his entrance into The Rumble match. Zayn ended up taking his spot.
