In the segment breakdown, the show opened at a 3.66 quarter rating for CM Punk’s interview and appearance by John Laurinaitis. This ended up being the high point of the show. Zack Ryder vs. Alberto Del Rio lost 882,000 viewers while Jack Swagger vs. Sheamus and the Kevin Nash segment gained 120,000 viewers. Cody Rhodes vs. Santino Marella and Cody’s angle with Booker T lost 104,000 viewers.
