Jesus. We use to make fun of WCW Nitro and TNA Impact for pulling those ratings.

And I see the excuse of "Oh, it's the pandemic..." Bullshit. No audience like a captive audience.

I do believe it is the pandemic and that includes not having a live audience, there is just no atmosphere. Maybe if someone could talk like The Rock the show would do better. lol I miss the live audience.
