The August 29th RAW was one of the most memorable in recent history. The overall show was mediocre but featured an incredible ending that still has people talking. Kevin Owens defeated Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Big Cass to become the new WWE Universal Champion. Triple H returned to WWE TV to betray Rollins and help Owens pick up the win.

Obviously this is good news for the WWE. They were strategic and kept the title match until the very end which kept their viewers for the majority of the show. We have seen a recent trend of the third hour dipping significantly so this is a positive sign. It will be interesting to see how many people watch the next week to see the fallout from the incredible ending. I have to imagine the viewership will increase even more.
