For the third consecutive week, the Rhodes Family in conflict with the McMahons drew a solid audience in the individual Raw TV quarter-hour TV ratings. And, Daniel Bryan continues to score well in TV main events.

Dusty Rhodes's confrontation with Stephanie McMahon was the top-rated quarter-hour among males 18-49 until the final segment of the show, which featured Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns and the over-run.

Dusty-Stephanie scored a 2.30 rating in Q5 at the top of the second hour, Bryan vs. Reigns scored a show-high 2.32 rating in Q12, and the five-minute over-run jumped to a 2.65 rating.

Also of note, Raw started right at the overall show average with a 2.00 rating for the immediate Night of Champions fall-out. It was an ordinary quarter-hour rating compared to the past two months.
