We only have estimates on viewer numbers, but give or take, Kane vs. Cody Rhodes lost about 140,000 viewers. The Natalya & Kaitlyn & Layla & Alicia Fox vs. Tamina Snuka & Eve Torres & Aksana & Rosa Mendes stayed even. Big Show vs. Sheamus at the 9 p.m. hour gained about 550,000 viewers to a 2.4 rating, which is good growth. Zack Ryder vs. David Otunga lost about 300,000 viewers.

Considering it was a Christmas Eve raw, the actual ratings don't really matter all that much. Instead, I just want you guys to direct your attention to this sentence:

The John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio Miracle on 34th Street match with the Santa Claus run-in

And remember that this is a thing that actually happened.

Punk's promo did better in the ratings than Cena vs. Del Rio. Interesting.

Is it really? Quarter-hour fluctuations really don't gauge anything, unless there is a segment that goes really, really long.

That's why USA still lets Raw have the overrun.

Only when it shows Punk in a good light does it not gauge anything. But if Punk was in a segment that had low ratings or lost viewers, there'd be a multi-page thread arguing about how he's ratings poison.

They lost [X] amount of viewers which just proves that fans don't care about [*insert wrestler I don't like*]. They should really stop pushing him.

[The Gambler Fan]

They gain [X] amount of viewers which just proves that fans care about [*insert wrestler I like*]. They should really pushing him more.

Now it is time for me to do the same thing. Great Khali vs. Brad Maddox also gained about 140,000 viewers! Time to push the Great Khali and also push Maddox to the moon.

Oh boy, ratings breakdowns from holiday episodes.

I'm sure this information can be reasonably extrapolated into useful info about the current product.

It was Christmas Eve

Of course the show wouldn't get as many viewers in the later hours because kids are going to sleep earlier than usual waiting for the morning

A lot of people read the spoilers. Plus how many Kane/Daniel Bryan vs. Cody Rhodes/Damien Sandow one on one matches has happened now? It's the new Cryme Tyme vs. Hart Dynasty or Ziggler vs. Kofi series.
