WrestleMania 40 was scattered with emphasis on WWE's current executives and allusions to problems with Vince McMahon's leadership. Many questions remain unanswered, though, and actually unasked.

Quarter-hours: WWE Raw, April 8
wrestlenomics.com/tv-ratings/202…

Raw last night had the biggest 'post-PPV bump' (a metric made up by me comparing the given rating to the trailing 4 weeks) since post-Wrestlemania 2015

Raw peaked at 3.19M viewers, for the Cody Rhodes and Rock in-ring segment, the third of the 3 ad-free quarter-hours that started off Raw.

Purdue vs. UConn last night in the men's NCAA basketball tournament final, starting at 9:18 pm:

Combined across TBS , TNT, and TruTV
14,823,000 viewers
3.88 P18-49 rating

Raw after Wrestlemania last night put up the show's highest P18-49 rating since September 2019 and highest total viewership since February 2020.

Did so while most of the show was head-to-head with the men's college basketball tournament final.
