The booking has been all over the place since Kevin Owens won the Universal Title two weeks ago, and there is a lack of a clear lead babyface to drive interest in the show following Finn Balor&#8217;s injury. WWE is going to have to do something to avoid hitting an all-time low at some point this Fall season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2524912960\"><div id=\"pwtor-2966878695\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE Raw got hammered on Monday night against Week 1 of Monday Night Football, the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars, and other Fall TV premieres.
