The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston lost 231,000 viewers while The Rock's video lost 329,000. Eve Torres vs. Beth Phoenix and the Kane vs. John Cena brawl gained 325,000 viewers. The segment with Triple H, John Laurinaitis and The Undertaker gained 753,000 viewers.

I find it to be refreshing that a Wrestling Match actually gained viewers for once. The whole "this is actually weak" for this segment is irrelevant to me when it's a 3.54

Not surprised Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk was the third highest segment, second if you don't include the overrun.

Yeah I dont think the loses and gains mean that much as 5 million people consistently watched the show.

but the rock lost viewers, had to do it

[StevenROH]

It's like the events surrounding WrestleMania, the increased ratings are because of the buzz more so than the quality.

[ecabney]

Orton stay losing viewers, breh

Big opening segment as expected to find out who won the Rumble match, Weak gain as usual for Punk, And a 4.0 + segment for HHH/Ace, I expected a bigger gain for the huge overrun. But not surprising. good number, let's see if HHH can continue this momentum for next week after Taker came back but with no Rumble buzz.

[Green Light]

The Rock's video lost 329,000.

Tee hee

[A-C-P]

Since the Punk/Bryan was the only segment besides the last sgement/overrun to actually GAIN viewers I don't think calling it a weak gain is fair at all. That top of the hour slot is not an "automatic" huge gain like it has been in years past anymore.

[Rock316AE]

Video package is a ratings killer, back then, WWE or WCW never even promoted their PPV on TV because of the fear of losing viewers, Taker/HHH before WM lost something like 500k but that's irrelevant anyway, it was 4 minutes in a 15 minutes quarter.

It was in the top of the hour segment, you can't lose viewers no matter what, If everything lost and they only gain 200k it's not a good thing, on the contrary...

[LarryCoon]

Lol Rock's video losing 329k viewers. Can't blame Rock for that one. His videos has been shit

[SteenIsGod]

Orton is Shit. His Return match to raw loses 1/2 a million viewers? How this man has been a top guy for 4 years still baffles me to this day.
