That’s a problem. Monday Night Raw has been the WWE’s flagship television program for over thirty years now and there is nothing to suggest that is going to change anytime soon. For most of its history, the show has not had much in the way of head to head competition, at least not for the majority of the year. Now though they are going to be dealing with the biggest competition they have on a bigger scale than before.

It doesn’t really matter what Monday Night Raw does because their audience is going to pale in comparison to whatever the NFL is doing. Now it is going to be even worse all around and that is just something WWE is going to have to deal with for the rest of the year.
