The 2017 average through six weeks is 298,000 compared to a 283,000 through six weeks in 2017. The range of viewership so far this year has been 276,000 through 319,000. This was pretty close to the middle of that range.<\/p>\n<p>-Booker T has invited Corey Graves onto his podcast to &#8220;clear the air.&#8221; Graves accepted, telling Booker, &#8220;Gladly. You have my number.&#8221; Booker addressed his removal from the Raw announce team on a recent edition of his podcast and blamed Graves. He went so far as to say he&#8217;d beat him up if he saw him on the street. New Day made references to this playfully on Smackdown this week in several segments.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m going to address all of the news from this past week on my show tomorrow.
