Despite this past week's Monday Night Raw dropping back down to a 3.2 rating overall, the quarter hour featuring CM Punk vs. Kane scored a strong 3.59 rating, which was the highest rated segment of the entire two hour broadcast (excluding the overrun which drew a 3.81 and usually always garners the highest rating of the night). So, it would certainly appear that the experiment of putting the World Heavyweight Title on CM Punk has been a success thus far.

WWE was reportedly very happy with the 1.4 rating that ECW on Sci Fi drew this past Tuesday night as they booked The Hardys reuniting on the show to fight off any possible ratings loss to the All-Star Game. They were said to be thrilled when the numbers came in and they were able to maintain the same audience for the last three weeks.
