The Rock took to social media on Wednesday to talk up “big ratings” for his 26-minute segment on Monday’s Raw (January 25).

Rock’s segment drew the biggest audience of the show crossing over from the second to third hour.

Another big winner was A.J. Styles, whose Raw TV debut and match against Chris Jericho drew the second-biggest audience of the night within the three-hour Raw format.

The over-run featuring the TV main event and Fast Lane announcement then peaked again.
