EA’s Weekly RAW YouTube Report (10/29/18)

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, 10/31/18):

  1. Seth Rollins vows to make Dean Ambrose’s life Hell – 3 million views
  2. D-Generation X gets one over on The Brothers Of Destruction – 2.4 million views
  3. Braun Strowman & Brock Lesnar clash before Crown Jewel – 1.7 million views
  4. Becky Lynch confronted Ronda Rousey after Evolution – 951k views
  5. 10-Woman Tag Team Match – 569k views
  6. Baron Corbin rewards Bobby Lashley with John Cena’s World Cup spot – 250k views
  7. Ember Moon vs. Nia Jax – 245k views

With Roman Reigns gone and Ronda Rousey surprisingly not appearing live the night after Evolution, the field was wide open for someone to start trying to takeover the weekly top spot. Just as I suspected, it’s reserved for the fallout of Dean Ambrose turning on Seth Rollins last week. Some people aren’t pleased with Roman’s cancer being in any way involved with this angle, but if anything I think it’s only made it even better than what I anticipated out of the eventual Ambrose turn. You know they wouldn’t be doing it if Roman wasn’t cool with it either.

Sliding into the second spot this week is the closing segment from RAW where DX was able to outsmart The Brothers Of Destruction, leading to The Undertaker being dropped by Sweet Chin Music. It’s really a shame that the issues surrounding Crown Jewel are overshadowing Shawn Michaels’ ring return. I could live without it, but a lot of fans have been waiting a long time for it and it’s merely become a sidebar.

Number three goes to our Universal Championship feud, which despite being thrown a curveball due to Reigns vacating the title, the name value is enough to keep people interested. Nobody will ever be able to tell me that Brock’s not a draw still…and did you hear that pop when he came out? Sorry, hate on him all you want, but facts are facts. Lesnar is still money. Last week I wondered if Braun Strowman could get back the momentum he had before he was turned heel, now that it appears he’s in line to be the guy. Tough to say this week because of who he was opposite from in this segment.

She didn’t appear live, but this video from after Evolution with Ronda Rousey is good enough to get into the fourth position this week. The match against Becky is the first to become official for Survivor Series and a bit unexpected after previous reports that this year’s event may not be so focused on brand vs. brand. Obviously that’s not the case and even though Becky’s on fire right now, expect her to do much better on YouTube leading into Survivor Series considering who the opponent is.

The rest of our top seven shows some less than stellar numbers to say the least and therefore, I’m grouping it all together into the “best of the rest”. Number five is driven by your Hall Of Famers Lita and Trish Stratus in their first match on RAW in years, but doesn’t draw what you’d think from Attitude Era Superstars with notoriety. Numbers six and seven are just…yikes. Both fall under 300k views and due to the amount of injuries we’ve got on the red brand, I think we could see a trend begin where the last couple of spots in our RAW YouTube Reports draw low, low views.

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.
