• WWE Tries A New Technique To Increase RAW Viewership

WWE tried a new technique last night to increase RAW viewership. WWE stopped uploading RAW highlight videos to their YouTube channel while the show was going on as they think that’s what causes people to not tune in to RAW live on TV.

WWE uploaded highlights from RAW after the show was over.

Also, WWE added a little text graphic on their RAW highlight videos on Twitter which told the fans to tune in to watch RAW live on TV:
