EA’s Weekly RAW YouTube Report (7/9/18)

Published

on

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, 7/11/18):

  1. Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley brawl – 2.3 million views
  2. Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre – 965k views
  3. Nia Jax & Natalya vs. Alexa Bliss & Mickie James – 619k views
  4. Drew McIntyre challenges Seth Rollins – 501k views
  5. Finn Balor & Bobby Roode vs. Baron Corbin & Elias – 392k views
  6. Kevin Owens hides from Braun Strowman in Kurt Angle’s office – 391k views
  7. Bobby Lashley confronts Roman Reigns backstage – 362k views

This is the final week of Ronda Rousey’s suspension from RAW and the last opportunity for someone to (possibly) take the number one spot with ease. If you saw RAW this week, there’s no denying that the big brawl between Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley was the best segment of the night (and the best in weeks if you ask me), so there’s no surprise that it comes in at the top spot with 2.3 million views. I saw some suggestions that perhaps this segment would pull in the 4-5 million range, but based off of the numbers lately, I didn’t see that as possible. There’s only one person I’ve seen draw those kind of digits and as I said, she’s “suspended”. The lead-up to Reigns and Lashley’s melee also comes in at the seventh position.

‘The KingSlayer’ comes in twice on our top seven, occupying the second and fourth spots as his rivalry against Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre continues. It has seemed like Rollins has lost some momentum since losing the championship, but it’s tough to say how much is really on him, as ratings on cable and YouTube views have all been pretty down over the past month.

The rest of our list falls kind of in the “there was nothing better category”, dropping numbers all between the 400-600k range (roughly). Number three sees Alexa Bliss take on her Extreme Rules challenger via tag team action, posting the usual numbers for the RAW Women’s Champion when Ronda Rousey isn’t involved. Another tag match slides in at number five with Finn Balor and Bobby Roode pairing up against Baron Corbin and Elias. Balor has taken a huge hit in YouTube views lately and I think it shows that he’s not quite the draw some people might think. Clearly, working with Corbin has done him no favors in what’s been a bit of a “filler feud”, however people that can draw well are able to do it with just about anybody else.

Lastly, one of the most entertaining pieces of business on RAW in some time comes in at number six as Kevin Owens continues trying to keep himself away from Braun Strowman as if they’re Tom & Jerry. These two did great last week, but this week they didn’t have much going on outside of some banter backstage. Still, on a week where again, there just wasn’t much else, it’s good enough to make our list.

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.
