Ja’Von’s Take: I’m quite shocked that the viewership is this low especially since their was a championship match and no major sports competition for them to go up against this week. In last week’s viewership article(which you can read here.) I predicted that Impact would see an increase in viewership looks like I was wrong. With next week’s show featuring another championship match and a first time ever match that Impact is promoting as a dream match between two knockouts I expect the viewership to increase but only slightly.
