What's this argument of the whole division should be showcased? No it's women's wrestling they aren't draws. Less is better. So good Raw focuses on its best while the others do nothing
The women ARE draws. The final hour for the show when Charlotte faced Sasha in the Falls Count Anywhere match did better than Owens vs Rollins for the Universal Title.

Monday's
WWE RAW, featuring
Sasha Banks vs.
Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Title in a Falls Count Anywhere main event, drew 3.110 million viewers. This is up 3.6% from last week's 3.002 million viewers for the show with fallout from Survivor Series. It is the second largest audience for the show since football season began, trailing only the October 17th episode of RAW which featured Goldberg's WWE return and garnered 3.13 million viewers.
For this week's show, the first hour drew 3.163 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.130 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.039 million viewers.

Raw viewers up for Survivor Series fallout show
When
WWE had Goldberg squash Brock Lesnar in all of 90 seconds in the main event of
Survivor Series this past Sunday night in Toronto, it got the pro wrestling world talking. It did not, however, get all that many more viewers watching.
Indeed,
Monday Night Raw drew 3.00 million viewers this week. That’s up from
2.87 million last week but considering the show, it has to be something of a disappointment for the company.
They led with Goldberg announcing he would enter the Royal Rumble next year, and that’s when the most viewers were tuning in. Like usual, numbers went down throughout the night.
Hour one: 3.13 million
Hour two: 3.09 million
Hour three: 2.77 million
That’s a big drop for a third hour that featured a Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens Universal championship match. What will be interesting to see is if Goldberg sticking around for a while leads to any meaningful change in viewership.
