EA’s Weekly RAW YouTube Report (11/12/18)

Published

A look at the YouTube performance for this week’s WWE RAW!

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, 11/14/18):

  1. Becky Lynch leads a SmackDown Live invasion – 4.8 million views
  2. Ronda Rousey sends Baron Corbin for a ride – 2.3 million views
  3. Dean Ambrose burns his Shield gear –  2.2 million views
  4. Jinder Mahal & The Singh Brothers feel Brock Lesnar’s wrath – 1.3 million views
  5. Alexa Bliss reveals the RAW Women’s Survivor Series team – 624k views
  6. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley for a spot at Survivor Series – 539k views
  7. Finn Balor interrupts Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler – 512k views

What did I say? WHAT DID I SAY? When you put Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey in the same place at the same time, it will be money and our number one spot proves that. RAW’s main event segment was one of the best on the program in weeks, spearheaded by Becky Lynch attacking Rousey backstage before the brawl spilled into the arena and turned into an all out, brand vs. brand battle. You had a hot segment, SmackDown’s hottest star, RAW’s most mainstream star, SmackDown’s hottest star getting injured, a massive brawl…what more do you need for a stew of YouTube goodness? Nothing.

While we also see Ronda Rousey occupying the second spot this week, number three misses out on that position by a mere 100k views as Dean Ambrose put The Shield behind him seemingly for good by burning his gear. I know they’ve been meeting at Live Events, but even a guy like me who had become beyond tired of Ambrose long before his injury has to admit that I’m looking forward them facing off. We’ve seen it numerous times in the past, but the dynamic was much different and I’ve found this to be RAW’s most intriguing angle lately.

“Nobody wants to see Brock Lesnar” is what I see a lot of, but our number four spot this week is more proof of the contrary. Just think about this…Brock Lesnar pulled over a million views with…wait for it…Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers. I mean, come on now. The defense rests.

Numbers 5-7 all fall well under a million views, numbers five and six revolving around the Women’s Survivor Series Elimination Match on Sunday. I really dig how Alexa’s been used recently, the company keeping her involved even if she can’t compete right now. If I’m WWE, I’d have made Paige the team captain for SmackDown Live and tease her getting hands on Alexa. We all know the match could never happen due to Paige’s health, but it would make for something extra on top of the action in the ring because honestly, does it matter who wins the match?

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.
