Despite WWE putting some together some intriguing segments for the show, this episode faced some heavy competition. The show had to go up against ESPN which was averaging 12.011 million viewers for the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game as well as Big Bang Theory on CBS in hour one.

WWE will attempt to rebound next week as they have already announced that WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey would be in action as well as an appearance by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to hype the upcoming singles match that will see Triple H battle The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down where Kane will be the in the corner of “The Deadman” while WWE Hall of Famer would be in the corner of “The Game.”
