In an effort to combat ratings competition from the NBA Playoffs, Vince McMahon wants WWE’s live event booking staff to schedule RAW events in “hot” wrestling cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago and New York City for Mondays when late round Game Sixes and Sevens may take place.

McMahon believes if RAW viewers witness a hot crowd in the opening segment at 8:00 p.m., they will be less likely to tune out once the game starts.
