Tv ratings are outdated only to the show that have terrible ratings. They were important that they was marketing demo god and celebrating their ratings vs NXT's

They're outdated because that's not how people consume their media anymore. Streaming, on demand, non linear, social, secondary offerings. Nielsen ratings are but one piece of a much larger puzzle
WWE Employees officially returned to Titan Tower and/or the new WWE HQ in Stamford, CT (depending on the department) today.
Brian Kendrick is not currently working for WWE full-time. We are told he is currently not a company employee but is being brought in from time to time when needed to work in a Producer capacity. Ronda Rousey had first suggested him for the role back in November.
Carlito has not signed with WWE and as of this morning, is not scheduled for either Raw or Smackdown this week. His appearance was planned as a single night cameo to pop the crowd in Puerto Rico, which it obviously did. The huge reaction Carlito received did not go unnoticed backstage.
Lana, who was in Puerto Rico this past weekend, was just visiting talents and was not there in any official capacity for WWE.
[Update: 2:12 PM EST - PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed Lesnar will indeed be at Raw tonight.] Brock Lesnar is not currently scheduled for TV this week. The blood in his match against Cody was 100% planned, PWInsiderElite.com has been told by multiple sources, but don't expect any sort of heavy blood usage to return to WWE programming.
No Drew McIntyre again for this week's Raw.
The talk backstage at the Backlash PPV among the talents was that they hoped the company would make San Juan a permanent home for the show, feeling the crowd reactions for both Smackdown and the PPV were at "Wrestlemania" levels and made the post-Mania PPV the most important the event had been in years.
As you can imagine, lots of raves for Bad Bunny backstage. Out of every celebrity who has performed for the company, he has easily become the most embraced as "one of the boys" among the talents.
There was a ton of praise internally for all the work Damian Priest has done in recent months to level himself up, culminating with the San Juan Street Fight this past weekend. One source noted to PWInsider.com that he has to be seen as one of the top level players in the company going forward. Priest is in the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament that kicks off tonight.
There was a lot of happiness with Omos' performance this past weekend as well, as the feeling was it was one of the best major matches he's ever had.
One source noted they were happy tonight's Raw was emanating from Jacksonville, Florida since so many talents reside in The Sunshine State and can just drive to the event, potentially hiding who will be debuting from NXT tonight.
