Quarter-hour TV ratings for Monday's Raw following the Battleground PPV were below-average across the board. No segment during the regular portion of the show topped the "barometer" 2.0 rating in the males 18-49 demographic that we track.

Only the over-run segment - featuring the end of Team Bryan vs. The Shield and Big Show's return to knock out Triple H - scored above a 2.0. The segment scored a 2.30 rating, which was the highest over-run rating in three weeks.

During the regular portion of Raw, the show topped out at a 1.95 rating three times:

- Q3 for Brad Maddox announcing the WWE Title situation for Hell in a Cell.

- Q5 at the top of the second hour for this week's C.M. Punk-Paul Heyman segment.

- Q9 at the top of the third hour for Alberto Del Rio's match segment with Ricardo Rodriguez.

Raw quarter-hour ratings break down M18-49 demo

Q1: Raw started slow despite being the night after a PPV. Raw scored a 1.77 rating, which was the same as last week's Q1 rating on the PPV lead-in show, for Stephanie McMahon "firing" Big Show, plus one commercial.

Q2: Raw then scored a near-show-low 1.67 rating for Dolph Ziggler vs. Damien Sandow and one mid-match commercial.

Q3: Raw jumped to a 1.95 rating for Brad Maddox's WWE Title announcement. The segment also contained a six-Divas tag match, but, looking at the minute-by-minute ratings, Maddox's announcement boosted the quarter-hour. There was also one commercial in-between segments.

The segment peaked with a first-hour-high 1.405 million viewers at 8:43 p.m. for the conclusion of Maddox's announcement setting up Booker T's campaign promo.

Q4: Raw fell back to a 1.74 rating for Los Matadores in tag action, plus two full commercial breaks.

Q5: Raw rebounded to a 1.95 rating at the top of the hour for the Punk-Heyman segment, one commercial, and the first-half of Punk & R-Truth vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel.

Q6: Raw slipped to a 1.87 rating for the end of the tag match, one commercial, and Bob Backlund's campaign promo.

The segment was boosted by the end of the tag match, which topped out at a second-hour-high 1.454 million viewers at 9:17 p.m.

Q7: Raw slipped to a 1.80 rating for the drawn-out Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston match, plus one mid-match commercial. This was the lowest-rated segment of the second hour, although the audience did increase by small numbers throughout the match.

Q8: Raw increased to a 1.86 rating for Shawn Michaels's unadvertised return to campaign for the special referee role at Hell in a Cell, plus two full commercial breaks dragging down the rating.

The segment peaked with 1.397 million viewers at 9:54 p.m. when HBK wrapped up prior to the second commercial.

Q9: Raw got a top-of-the-hour bump to a 1.95 rating for Del Rio vs. Ricardo Rodriguez and the announcement of John Cena returning to WWE at Hell in a Cell to face Del Rio. There was also one commercial.

Q10: Raw fell to a 1.72 rating for Fandango vs. Zack Ryder, one commercial, and Real Americans vs. Santino & Great Khali. The matches averaged nearly the exact same viewership in the low-end 1.1 million-viewer range.

Q11: Raw fell to a show-low 1.66 rating for the brief and interrupted Miz TV segment, various promotional videos, the McMahons and Brad Maddox backstage, and two full commercials, which affected the rating.

Q12: Raw rebounded to a 1.87 rating for the Bryan & Rhodes vs. Shield main event, plus one mid-match commercial.

Q13: Raw finished with a 2.30 rating for the end of the six-man tag main event, Big Show's return after being "fired," and Show KO'ing Hunter to close Raw.
