The December 19th RAW Supershow did a 2.92 cable rating and 4.29 million viewers with the TLC pay-per-view fallout.
In the segment breakdown, the show opened with a strong 3.36 rating, likely interest from the TLC pay-per-view. Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett lost 721,000 viewers but Beth Phoenix vs. Alicia Fox gained 277,000 viewers. Jinder Mahal vs. Sheamus lost 247,000 viewers and the John Cena promo that featured Kane and Mark Henry gained 428,000 viewers with a 3.18 quarter rating.
Epico & Primo vs. The Usos and Cody Rhodes vs. Santino Marella lost 719,000 viewers. Backstage segments with John Laurinaitis and The Bella Twins, Hornswoggle and a Big Show interview lost 56,000 viewers.
In what is a very bad sign, the overrun for the CM Punk, Daniel Bryan & Zack Ryder vs. Alberto Del Rio, The Miz & Dolph Ziggler match gained only 59,000 viewers. This is almost impossible as people tune into USA to see the next TV show. This means wrestling fans were tuning out in large numbers. Fans tuned out mostly during the first part of the match but viewership picked up some at 11pm.
The RAW six-man main event did a 2.67 rating, which might be the lowest rated RAW main event of this year.

- Skip Sheffield has been told that he's returning with a push in early 2012.

More TNA India Ring Ka King News. Long Term Plans, Thousands Denied Entrance, Near Riots
According to PWInsider.com, there are indeed long term plans for the TNA India Project, now known as Ring Ka King going forward. Indian wrestlers have been signed to long term deals while their North American counterparts have not. This could likely indicate that North American talent are currently being used as a stepping stone in order to help build up a fan base.
The fan reaction and heat some wrestlers have received is said to have been incredible. Most notably Scott Steiner who actually caused a near riot when he began to antagonize some fans in the front row. Former WWE Wrestler Chavo Guerrero wrote the following on his twitter page regarding a near riot outside after thousands of fans were refused entry at the door of the venue.

Ring announcer Eden Stiles announced late Tuesday night on Twitter that she has parted ways with WWE after asking to be released from her contract three weeks ago.
She wrote, "This was it! 3 weeks ago I asked to be released from my WWE contract. Today was my last day. Sure enjoyed it!! More on the horizon for me."
Stiles also revealed she is dating Cody Rhodes.
"And...now that I no longer work here I'm glad to finally not "hint" and say that I am 100% Cody's girl ."
After being a successful model for a few years, Stiles wanted to get back to athletics and found herself at WWE's development facility, Florida Championship Wrestling in March, where she began training to become a WWE Diva. Stiles, however, was made the ring announcer for Superstars.
- Kevin Nash said on Twitter that he will have surgery on his nose the 27th of this month and has a concussion after the match with Triple H at TLC. He wrote:
"Went to nose quack today. surgery 27th. decent concussion. seeing ortho on left elbow. love or hate me, i gave it all i had."
Last night's WWE RAW Supershow with the fallout from TLC scored a 2.9 cable rating with 4.3 million viewers. The first hour averaged 4.42 million viewers while the second hour averaged 4.1 million viewers.
Like previous weeks, the trend continued where RAW lost viewers as the show went on.
1. Ted DiBiase defeated Dean Ambrose. DiBiase got a great reaction. Ambrose cut a typical heel promo about how we should respect him even though we suck. Ted won with Dream Street.
WWE NXT Taping:
1. The Uso Brothers defeated Derrick Bateman and Johnny Curtis.
2. Trent Barreta defeated Curt Hawkins (w/Tyler Reks). Reks and Hawkins locked Yoshi Tatsu in a storage closet before the match. The crowd didn't really know how to root for or simply didn't care.
3. Kaitlyn defeated Maxine. Kaityln got the win after Derrick Bateman distracted Maxine.
4. Tyson Kidd beat Percy Watson. The match was pretty good. Kidd won in about five minutes.
5. Titus O'Neil defeated JTG (w/Tamina). Darren Young was at ringside and attacked Titus after the match. This concluded the NXT tapings.
-- Alicia Fox has commented on the damage she did to Beth Phoenix's face during their match on RAW last night. After Phoenix tweeted pictures of a nasty looking bump on her right temple, Fox followed up with a tweet of her own on Tuesday afternoon:
"@TheBethPhoenix wow!!!! I think your face looks better than ever!!!! Next one I'll put more STANk on it!!!! Kiss kiss"
Alberto Del Rio and Beth Phoenix were both injured at Monday's WWE RAW Supershow from Philadelphia.
Del Rio was carried out of the building by trainers after Raw went off the air. There was some fear that he may have suffered a groin injury, but after being checked out by WWE trainers, he's said to be doing alright. He's not expected to miss any ring time, despite some soreness.
Beth Phoenix has a nasty lump on the side of her face folowing her match with Alicia Fox. At this time, it's unclear at what point in the match the injury takes place, but it looks like she has a golf ball sticking out of her right temple. She tweeted:
@AliciaFoxy tried her hardest to destroy my face. There will be hell to pay for trying to tarnish my beauty."
"After hours in the trainers room, I broke a lot of mirrors with my fists.
Phoenix's partner Natalya tweeted a message of support:
"@TheBethPhoenix i am sorry to see what happened on Raw...But we are still UNBREAKABLE."

WWE Raw SuperShow results: Punk, Bryan, Ryder start a revolution By: Ryan Murphy December 19, 2011 Tags: WWE Raw SuperShow: December 19, 2011
Philadelphia Philly is no stranger to revolutions, so it was the perfect city to play host to a trio of new titleholders who are turning WWE in a different direction WWE Champion CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and United States Champion Zack Ryder. This revolution will be televised.
WWE Champion CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan & United States Champion Zack Ryder def. The Miz, Alberto Del Rio & Dolph Ziggler (WATCH | PHOTOS) It looks like the change The Straight Edge Superstar promised is finally coming to fruition. Entering the ring through a raucous Philly crowd, WWE Champion CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan & United States Champion Zack Ryder showed how they were leading WWE into 2012 by blasting their way through a veritable rogues gallery with blunt force. The exciting young Superstars each got their fill of action before Bryan made Del Rio tap out to the LeBell Lock.
If it wasnt clear at WWE TLC, it should be after this bout the future is now.
Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. Santino Marella (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still pleased with himself over the previous nights underhanded victory over Booker T, Cody Rhodes took some leftover aggression out on the Italian Superstar. This Intercontinental Champion needs either a padded room or a some serious counseling.
Primo & Epico def. The Usos (WATCH | PHOTOS) They may have fallen to WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom at WWE TLC, but the dangerous team of Primo & Epico has not lost direction. Looking to earn another title match, the duo bashed their way through the skilled team of Jey & Jimmy Uso with more than a little inspiration from their spicy manager, Rosa Mendes.
Kane attacked John Cena (WATCH) Hell has come back. One week after he shocked the WWE Universe by assaulting John Cena, Kane stomped into Philadelphia and did it all over again.
Hitting the ring to admit that hes willing to fight if thats what The Big Red Monster wants, Cena was surprised when Mark Henry appeared instead of Kane. The Worlds Strongest Man and the former WWE Champion were ready to come to blows when the deafening pyro of The Devils Favorite Demon exploded. The masked monster ignored Henry and went right for the Cenation leader, but Cena was ready and clotheslined him over the ropes. Still, the fiery giant fought back, dragging his target from the squared circle before throwing him around the ringside area and tearing off his Rise Above Hate shirt in a frightening display of rage.
Sheamus def. Jinder Mahal (WATCH | PHOTOS) Give Jinder Mahal some credit. Frustrated after getting obliterated by The Celtic Warrior last week, the Punjabi Superstar wanted to face The Great White to prove he could beat him. Instead, Sheamus wiped the floor with Mahal before putting him away with The Celtic Cross. Okay, so don't give him too much credit.
Alicia Fox def. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix in a Title-Free Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) The Glamazon just got outfoxed. A day after she smashed Kelly Kelly at WWE TLC, the Divas Champion locked up with the leggy Alicia Fox and found herself staring at the lights when it was all over. Smart, spunky and beautiful, its no wonder Alicia is now blogging for internet sensation Perez Hilton alongside her pals Kelly and Eve at FitPerez.com/WWEDivas.
Randy Orton def. Wade Barrett by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still wearing the scars of his brutal Tables Match with Randy Orton, the villainous Wade Barrett didn't bother trying to have a legitimate match with The Viper he just wanted to hurt him. And thats exactly what the British Thug did as he got himself disqualified by driving his thumb into Orton's eye before ruthlessly slamming his opponent through a table. Clearly, this rivalry is far from over.
Six-Man Tag Team Match set for main event (PHOTOS | WATCH) The trio of WWE Champion CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and United States Champion Zack Ryder had reason to celebrate. Lifelong sports-entertainment fans, the three Superstars overcame some serious odds to walk away from WWE TLC with their respective titles in hand. But the mutual admiration society didn't have much time to pat each other on the back in Philadelphia. Soon besieged by the tyrannical trio of The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler, the three champions fought off their attackers before receiving word from Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis that they would face those three Superstars in tonights main event.
