Powell’s POV: In case you're wondering, WWE has a pay-per-view scheduled that weekend, so they could miss out on a chance to offer final hype for the Unforgiven show if viewers fail to make the switch. WWE has always done a good job advertising their network switches, so that probably won't be an issue.
