EA’s Weekly SmackDown Live YouTube Report (11/13/18)

Published

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

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 (3:00 PM EST, 11/15/18):

  1. *TIE* Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles/Becky Lynch picks her replacement – 1.8 million views
  2. Becky Lynch injured while invading RAW – 921k views
  3. Daniel Bryan & AJ Styles brawl to open SmackDown Live – 824k views
  4. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz – 586k views
  5. The Usos rally Team SmackDown before Survivor Series – 476k views
  6. Daniel Bryan offers little explanation for his actions – 406k views

Not much of a surprise what tops our list this week, as I felt that our two clips tied at the top would most likely be neck-and-neck for that spot this week. Daniel Bryan’s big WWE Title win and heel turn, along with what was to become of the Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey match were without question the two biggest talking points of the night. I find it interesting that Bryan is actually the one who wanted to turn heel (see that story here), so I think he may have been feeling what I was and that is him becoming a bit stale. Smart move by WWE to pull the trigger on the same night as Becky’s announcement, seemingly replacing one red hot angle with another all at once. Proving that is seeing four of the top six spots revolving around the segments.

Sliding into the third spot this week is Rey Mysterio taking on The Miz as he successfully hung onto his spot at Survivor Series. Oddly enough, the other match on this night with Survivor Series implications does terribly, as Jeff Hardy vs. Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas only pulls in 280k views. What this tells me is that despite how high on Almas the smart marks are, he’s still not translating in the mainstream and even Jeff Hardy couldn’t help out this week. Rey on the other hand, has continued to perform well in our YouTube reports, but this is easily his weakest showing since returning.

Our final clip at number five is the reveal of the rest of Team SmackDown for the 10-Team Survivor Series Elimination Match. Honestly, this is the definition of a “best of the rest” clip because we didn’t learn anything that couldn’t have been predicted. The Bar’s already booked, The Usos and The New Day were already on the team, so with three spots left, there’s only three other tag teams currently on the blue brand. So by default, Gallows and Anderson, The Colons, SAnitY…you’re in.

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.
