WWE&#8217;s flagship show, Monday Night RAW has been running for 26 years straight and the product has gotten stale post-2015.



Fans in huge numbers have abandoned the show and WWE has tried hard to regenerate interest by offering the WWE Network at just $9.99/month along with a host of other network exclusive shows.

Despite WWE&#8217;s desperate efforts, the product has gone down the drains in recent times with viewership hitting an all-time record low.



During a recent interview with <a href="http://comicbookc.om/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">ComicBook</a>, WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley talked about WWE&#8217;s plan to bring the Attitude Era back in the final hour of RAW.

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“The idea is that the third hour is going to get rougher, wilder, and more unpredictable. When I was GM, I knew that people were breaking towards the SmackDown show because it was the darling of the Internet.”</blockquote>

Foley introduced the WWE 24/7 Championship a couple of weeks ago and fans noticed WWE experimenting with the feel on the same night. The red and white graphics were changed to highlight black and the entire arena gave off a gritty vibe.



<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“The idea was ‘why don’t you try [having] a third hour.’ It was like a giant albatross around your neck. The third hour is really difficult. I think it’s an idea to have the third hour more unpredictable and more like the Attitude Era.”</blockquote>

Furthermore, WWE&#8217;s 24/7 Title is another tool that WWE is currently using as a subtle replacement of the now-defunct Hardcore Title to make the third hour of RAW more Attitude Era-like.



WWE must act quickly to pull their ratings up week in, week out. While the idea of featuring returning legends in the final hour of RAW is definitely a selling point, the downside is legends won&#8217;t be around all the time and showcasing them often runs the risk of ruining regular storylines and even before they realize, WWE could end up doing more harm than good.
