Live Report from Last Night’s WWE Raw: Large Portion of the Crowd Leaves Early, Production Monitoring the NFL Game

WWE Raw NotesSeveral fans have sent in word that following the main event match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins last night on WWE Raw, about 1/3rd of the fans in the building left. WWE security was seen bringing people in to fill the 100 section for the final segment of the night, which featured Mark Henry and Rusev, with Lana. According to Jason, the segment was very well-received from the live crowd that remained, and the loud “USA!” chant was the biggest of the night. 

As we have been reporting, WWE is concentrating heavily on Monday Night Football, and even organized last night’s top segment around the NFL halftime. One of our readers noted that they were watching the Colts vs. Eagles game from the WWE production monitors to the right of the stage. 

KILLAM: Like we’ve been saying, WWE has made up its mind that the NFL is its new competition. It’s not uncommon to have the competition on backstage or in the production area, so they can structure their show on the fly against what the other program is doing. Both sides did this a lot during the Monday Night Wars with WCW Nitro
