Khali's karaoke to steal the show... and numbers.

3.68 is actually incredible when you consider that the Raw after WM 28, did a 3.42 rating on a 2 hour show.

Does this mean Rock/Punk > Rock/Cena? Or is it just a one off because the Rock has just won the title? I didn't think the title mattered that much to be honest.

I love Alberto as a face but either Trips, Jericho, or Brock need to be holding that World Heavyweight Championship in order to balance the two shows and solidify the ratings.

ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! Rock=RATINGS. Online fans are crying but business is BUSINESS. And yes..the highest rated hour was the Rock promo hour.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't

3.68... dayum. Guess the combo of Rock/Lesnar/Vince beats Taker/HHH/Big Johnny... which isn't too surprising, but yeah. Awesome number and best one besides Raw 1000 in a long time.

if rock vs punk had been that hot then why didn they pull 3.06 last week?
the rating was bigger this week because the rock is the wwe champion

Fixed.

Shit, it's true. The Rock was only advertised on this show and he won the WWE Championship. Fans got an unexpected return from Brock Lesnar and we still have Triple H and The Undertaker making their returns soon for the Road to Wrestlemania. Ratings could jump even more as we go deeper into Wrestlemania season.

Oh, and obviously Mark RATINGZ Henry.

Not really. Jericho had nothing to do with it. That number has everything to do with Rock being WWE Champion for the first time in 10 years. The other crediting factors are more than likely Cena being the Rumble winner and Vince/Heyman. Brock Lesnar wasn't advertised although he'll add big time to the overrun number imo. But this is primarily on Rock and the big tease throughout the show that something was going to happen at the end.

Jericho wasn't advertised but everyone saw him at the Rumble and it was blowing up on twitter. So, you could just assume he would be on Raw the next night. I am not saying that Rock didn't bring in the ratings but the WWE did spoil the Lesnar thing on twitter before he came out. I tuned in because I assumed Trips would be on the show too.
