Monday's WWE Raw TV rating was boosted by three distinct peaks. And, like before WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan was the top draw of the show.

Bryan's segment with Brie Bella and Kane drew the most males 18-49 viewers of the show. This was followed by the first-half of the over-run for Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton and Hugh Jackman's appearance at the top of the second hour.

Also, the opening segment involving John Cena and Bray Wyatt provided a boost to the first hour.
