It's been slow in the past but it's in its 7th Season now.
The Seasoner Opener still premiered to the 2nd highest ratings in the shows history. Ergo viewers definitely liked what they saw of Negan in the S6 premier.
It's ratings drop was just down to what it was before Negan showed up anyway. Now it's slightly lower, but again how many shows have these kind of numbers in their 7th season? Not many.
Btw in S3 the Governor had no noticeable effect on the ratings. Average rates NHS are about the same now that they were then. But Governor never gave the show the kind of numbers WD jumped to for its S7 opener.
