EA’s Weekly RAW YouTube Report (7/2/18)

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, 7/4/18):

  1. Kevin Owens takes a ride in a porta-potty thanks to Braun Strowman – 1.6 million views
  2. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre ambush Roman Reigns – 1.1 million views
  3. Sasha Banks & Bayley go to counseling with Dr. Shelby – 590k views
  4. Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre – 576k views
  5. Roman Reigns & Bobby Lashley vs. The Revival – 474k views
  6. Kevin Owens recovers from his porta-potty ride – 391k views
  7. Baron Corbin demands Finn Balor apologize – 380k views

With two more episodes of RAW heading into Monday before Ronda Rousey’s “suspension” from the red brand is over, the top spot was up for grabs yet again and yet again Braun Strowman slides right in. For the second week in a row, ‘Mr. Monster In The Bank’ and his feud with Kevin Owens grabs 1.6 million views and despite some of the negativity towards the portable toilet segment on social media (let’s face it, there will always be the curmudgeons), the rivalry has easily been Monday night’s most entertaining in recent weeks. I’ve been focusing on the positives of it, like Kevin Owens continuing to show his range and prove in my mind, why he is overall, the most entertaining Superstar in the company. On a week where there’s no stellar numbers outside of the top two, this also means just the clip of Owens being walked off to the back is good enough for sixth.

At number two this week is the opening segment that saw Roman Reigns getting laid out by Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, before Seth Rollins makes the save. At this point, I feel like I’m going to turn blue in the face if I continue trying to explain to Roman’s “haters” why he and his spot is so important. I mean, come on. He’s also on our list at numbers four and five. Are the numbers great? No, but again, they’re not great for anybody outside of the top two. Whether it’s for good or bad reasons, people still tune in to see him and we prove it every week here.

RAW was really a struggle this week (as I’ve now said for the third time), so it only takes 590k views to come in at number three for Sasha and Bayley’s visit to Dr. Shelby. Does anybody else find it unusual that Team Hell No reunites and then Dr. Shelby is back all within days of each other? Like, I can just picture the creative meeting where the idea for one of those angles came up and then someone else chimes in, “Hey! I got an ideal…”. All kidding aside, this segment was promoted since last week and I think that fans wanted to see how it would play out, but not enough to get them above the amount of views we see for Banks on a normal week.

Lastly, Finn Balor and Baron Corbin seem destined for a little rivalry as RAW’s Constable demands an apology and of course, doesn’t get quite what he had in mind. Quite frankly, this was just the “best of the worst” in my opinion, from an overall poor episode of RAW. Finn Balor’s popularity alone is really what carries this to the seventh spot ahead of the likes of Matt Hardy vs. Curtis Axel, Nia Jax vs. Mickie James, AOP vs. Titus Worldwide, Ember Moon vs. Liv Morgan…it sounds like a house show card.

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.
