EA’s Weekly RAW YouTube Report (6/18/18)

Published

WWE Raw YouTube

As we all know, social media and other outlets have become a huge means of drawing in interaction and viewers for WWE. Most people will point to television ratings like they did during the Monday Night Wars in the late 1990’s, however that can be skewed with so many various means of watching today that do not include cable television.

As you’ve become accustomed to, here is this week’s RAW YouTube Report (2:30 PM EST, 6/20/18):

  1. Ronda Rousey attacks new RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss – 6.1 million views
  2. Roman Reigns & Bobby Lashley make a case for a Universal Title shot – 1.7 million views
  3. Kevin Owens attempts to make friends with Braun Strowman – 1.2 million
  4. Braun Strowman & Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens & Baron Corbin – 1.1 million
  5. Roman Reigns & Bobby Lashley vs. The Revival – 950k views
  6. Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. The Riott Squad – 675k views
  7. Seth Rollins defends the Intercontinental Title vs. Dolph Ziggler – 671k views

Giminy Gillickers Radioactive Man! HUGE numbers at our number one spot for the second week in a row, as RAW’s inarguable top draw Ronda Rousey got her revenge on Alexa Bliss from Money In The Bank. I expected big numbers for Rousey again like we saw last week (3.9 million views), but I did not expect what we got as it’s the biggest number I’ve seen while doing these reports on back-to-back weeks. I don’t care Ronda’s skill level, I don’t care the opponent. The fact of the matter is, she’s the biggest star in the company. This isn’t Twitter, but don’t @ me.

The top draw for the red brand’s men occupies the number two and number five spots as Roman Reigns clocks in at 1.7 for second, then takes a dip down to 950k for fifth. I’ve seen some try to say “Bobby Lashley draws” or something of the sort. However, just go back and look at our reports. Outside of the “car crash syndrome” between Lashley and Sami Zayn, he does not pull numbers on his own. The one week where Lashley had a segment by himself (which was the one-on-one interview with Renee Young some weeks back), he didn’t even crack 400k. Again, DON’T @ ME.

‘The Monster Among Men’ who’s now ‘Mr. Monster In The Bank’ Braun Strowman gives his usual strong showing, hovering just over the one million mark that’s good for third and fourth on our list. There’s been interest in ‘The Prize Fighter’ Kevin Owens on a weekly basis, so you can give him a little bit of credit as well, but without Braun I don’t see him reaching a million. Don’t get me wrong, I love Kevin Owens and find him to be the most entertaining heel in all of WWE, but Braun’s the man right now and you’re definitely looking at your future Universal Champion.

Number six is taken by the ladies this week as Sasha Banks and Bayley team up to face The Riott Squad. Is there anybody that thinks this number is because of ‘The Hugger’ or The Riott Squad? Bueller? Well, if you do, you’re incorrect. This is spot on with Sasha’s average.

Lastly, the Intercontinental Title match rounds out the top seven and surprisingly, we see a drop. Seth Rollins had been the hottest male Superstar on RAW, so this is a little hard to explain as he is almost weekly at a million views. Especially considering this was a shocking title change that nobody saw coming, I expected more and perhaps we would have gotten it had this Open Challenge received some promotion.

What a start to the tournament!

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
