1) The Sasha Banks & Bayley Segment Brings In Big Numbers
On the September 4th edition of Smackdown, Bayley turned on Sasha Banks. This came after they had lost their tag team title match against Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax. This entire match and segment turned out to be a big ratings hit for WWE.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the tag team match and attack afterward averaged 2.32 million viewers.
Meltzer says that this was the best audience for a segment on any wrestling show in several months.
That same Smackdown episode ended up averaging 2.129 million viewers for the entire show.
My Take:
- This tells me that Sasha and Bayley are both ratings draws for WWE. This also has me questioning if WWE will end up saving this feud for Wrestlemania 37 due to the high ratings. We will have to wait and see.
