| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up, everyone? Don Tony here. Welcome to your Pro Wrestling Daily News Update for Wednesday, August 21st, 2024. |
| 0:07.9 | Got some wrestling news to get into, and we have some ratings. Now, I will tell you, the raw rating came in very, very late Tuesday night. |
| 0:14.9 | And I'm assuming it's because of the ratings for the Democratic National Convention, which although I think they did |
| 0:22.1 | like 11 million viewers, which is a good number, it's not like Super Bowl numbers. So I don't |
| 0:28.2 | know why everything was delayed. There was no holiday that I'm aware of. But we have ratings |
| 0:33.7 | for the weekends shows and Raw. Tomorrow we should have the quarter hour breakdowns, and we'll take a look at that |
| 0:41.1 | and see what peaked and, you know, what nose dived on all the shows. |
| 0:45.2 | But Raw this past Monday night, I think we all expected it, not because of the convention, |

| 1:05.8 | fans of both guys. |
| 1:07.9 | I don't know how many people wanted |
| 1:09.9 | to wait until 10.30 at night to see those two |
| 1:13.2 | battle it out. But Raw this past Monday night, still an excellent number. 1,641,000 viewers, |
| 1:22.9 | down from the week prior is 1,889,000 viewers. |
| 1:37.2 | Smackdown from this past Friday, August 16th, 2,252,000 viewers, slightly down from the week prior as 2,269. |
| 1:40.0 | We should also point out that there were multiple markets that did not air SmackDown in its normal time slot because of preseason football for the NFL. |
| 1:50.1 | So that definitely had an impact on Smackdown's number, which still, again, only down about 17,000 viewers, even with the preemption. |
