Following a story.
- As noted before, last week’s May 23rd episode of WWE RAW did a 3.40 rating and 5.41 million viewers. Here’s a segment breakdown:

The show opened at a high 3.60 rating but the Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga vs. Big Show and Kane title match lost 583,000 viewers. The injury angle with Big Show gained 174,000 viewers while Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger lost 35,000.

Michael Cole’s apology and Alex Riley fighting The Miz gained 323,000 viewers, bringing the rating to a 3.62. This was one of this week’s highest rated segments.

The angle with Kharma crying lost 449,000 viewers, which is about normal for that time slot. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston lost 71,000 viewers and the main event of John Cena and Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk and R-Truth gained 490,000 viewers, finishing at a 3.60.
