I'm going to assume this is a typo. Cable's most-watched match wouldn't come close to comparing to network's most-watched matches, here, and abroad.

No it wasn't a typo and I assume the "history" is up until the airing of that episode which was 1999. I am sure it has since been been surpassed.

WWE's most-watched program was, by far, NBC's The Main Event (headlined by Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant), which aired on February 5, 1988. It managed a 15.2 rating and 33 million viewers, meaning any of the televised bouts destroyed the above-referenced numbers.
