I had a conversation with someone on Tuesday from USA and they're like, 'Yeah, we're fine with the six-somethings,' because listen, even with that slammed roster with like NXT being NXT they were doing the 700,000s....USA doesn't care if there are some WWE guys there, they just want ratings. I think they're happy with the 600 and something rating you know like that 620-650, a 7 [00] for like a big show that's like. That's a decent range. Yeah, it's not that bad."
