– Monday’s WWE RAW ranked #1 among series & specials for the night in Nielsen’s social media TV ratings. RAW had 603,000 total interactions this week – 397,000 on Facebook and 206,000 on Twitter.
This is down from last week’s show, which drew a total of 874,000 interactions – 269,000 Twitter interactions and 605,000 Facebook interactions. As noted, Nielsen recently changed the breakdown of the Twitter and Facebook stats for shows as they no longer release the number of unique interactions and authors, just the total number of interactions.
– As noted, Hideo Itami will be making his main roster debut on WWE 205 Live soon. While the debut won’t be happening this week, WWE’s official preview for tonight’s episode contains the following teaser for the WWE NXT Superstar:
Hideo Itami is coming to WWE 205 Live
Last week on WWE 205 Live, it was revealed that NXT Superstar Hideo Itami is coming to the WWE Cruiserweight division. One of the most decorated Superstars in the history of Japanese sports-entertainment, Itami made headlines all over the world when he came to WWE in 2014.
The student of Kenta Kobashi aims to make headlines once again, this time by shaking up the Cruiserweight division and bringing his hard-hitting style to WWE 205 Live. Itami has been known to battle – and defeat – competitors twice his size, a fact that will certainly make things interesting in a division with all competitors weighing in at 205 pounds or less.
Will the Japanese Superstar set his sights directly on the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, or will he attempt to assert dominance and take down the whole division before turning his attention to the top prize?
– Finn Balor continues to make “over” puns on social media following reports that WWE has nixed his upcoming Royal Rumble match against Brock Lesnar because Vince McMahon did not think he was over enough with the fans. Following last night’s RAW where he was beaten down by Kane with a chair, Balor posted:
