Payout Perspective:
Some promising numbers for the WWE as its first hour was solid although it saw a loss of viewers going into its second hour. The CBS lineup is very solid and has dedicated viewers between 8-10pm regardless of whether or not the shows are reruns. But, the WWE is still winning the A18-49 demo for both hours.
