Believe it or not, the highest-rated Raw segment in history isn't one of the most obvious suspects - like The Rock and Mankind's legendary "This Is Your Life" skit - but a match between The Undertaker and Stone Cold which took place on June 28, 1999.

The 12-minute match, in which Austin captured the WWF Title from Taker, netted a stonking 9.5 audience rating, which equates to around 10.72 million viewers.

Despite the common belief that the aforementioned Rock/Mankind segment held the record - a claim frequently touted by Vince Russo - refreshingly enough it was actually a wrestling match which won the lion's share of the eyeballs.
