WWE Monday night Raw has been very impressive since Wrestlemania 38 even after the world championships were passed on to Friday Night SmackDown. While the Bloodline, who WWE are considering the top superstars currently, appeared on the red brand this week, the ratings saw a huge dip which was a shocker to many who thought that the Bloodline was a major draw. Instead WWE’s push to Bloodline seems to boring for the WWE Universe now.
