WWE Raw TV quarter-hours 3/24

In Summary: A collection of segments propped up Raw throughout the show, but none of those segments skyrocketed or popped off the page like segments involving Daniel Bryan the past three weeks.

With Daniel Bryan held off this week's Raw episode, the top-rated portion of the show was the Hulk Hogan/Arnold Schwarzenegger/Joe Manganiello segment that included an interruption by The Miz.

The stretch from 9:25 p.m. to 9:32 p.m. (Q6 to Q7) drew the largest audience of the night in the males 18-49 demographic, surpassing the over-run for The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar.

However, the over-run drew a larger audience than Q6 and Q7, reflecting the Hogan segment drawing the most viewers on the night, but not to the level of carrying its two quarter-hours above the over-run.

Another top segment was Triple H's "interview" with Michael Cole at the top of the second hour, which drew the second-highest quarter-hour rating of the show, besides the over-run. But, it was below recent Raws that featured Hunter and Daniel Bryan sharing the same ring.

Interestingly, another strong segment was the Divas Title announcement for WrestleMania, which joined with Scott Hall's Hall of Fame announcement to carry Q10 to the highest-rated segment of the show, besides the over-run.
