Greg DeMarco’s look at the WWE Raw YouTube viewership for the May 27th broadcast–where Brock delivers big time views!

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 such, YouTube has joined social media as a metric as important to WWE as television ratings (if not more). The weekly WWE Raw YouTube Performance Report is a look into that success metric.

As you’ve become accustomed to, here is this week’s WWE RAW YouTube Performance Report, compiled mid-day Wednesday (approximately 36 hours after Raw went off the air), for the 5/20/19 edition of WWE Raw:

  • Brock Lesnar’s Money In The Bank Realization – 4.825 million views
  • Shane McMahon vs. Lance Anoa’i – 1.012 million views
  • R-Truth 24/7 Championship “title defense” at the Memorial Day BBQ – 950k views
  • Kofi Kingston & Seth Rollins want Brock Lesnar’s decision – 804k views
  • Seth Rollins vs. Sami Zayn – 615k views
  • Sami Zayn Electric Chair segment – 612k views
  • Rey Mysterio to surrender the United States Championship – 581k views
  • Firefly Fun House introduces “The Fiend” – 471k views
  • Braun Strowman vs. The Miz vs. Baron Corbin vs. Bobby Lashley – 470k views
  • Becky Lynch & Nikki Cross vs. The IIconics – 261k views
  • Dolph Ziggler fights Xavier Woods – 256k views
  • Ricochet vs. Cesaro – 237k views
  • Shane McMahon promo against Roman Reigns – 234k views
  • The Revival show up at the BBQ – 232k views
  • Baron Corbin sucker punches an injured AJ Styles – 215k views
  • Dolph Ziggler promo on Kofi Kingston attacks – 184k views

Greg DeMarco’s WWE Raw YouTube Ratings Analysis – The Meaning

For the second week in a row, we saw an increase in overall viewership. This week, we can attribute that fact almost exclusively to Brock Lesnar. Brock’s hilarious antics occupied two of the Top 5 spots this week, hitting 5.63 million views alone, which represents 47% of the total views. That’s thanks to a HUGE 4.825 million views for the video where he make a personal discovery–he has a year to cash in Money In The Bank. That’s one of 2019’s funniest moments so far, and it delivered one of the most watched YouTube videos (in the 36 hour turn around).

Speaking of the Top 5, that number was up nearly 27% thanks to Brock’s big hit, with the Top 5 going over 8 million views for the first time since I started following this data earlier this year.

An important thing to note is that we had 2 less videos this week, but the overall number increased by 12%. That led to a big jump in the per video average, 158k views and 26%. Again, that can be attributed almost solely to Brock Lesnar’s 4.825 million view performance, where he paintbrushes Paul Heyman with the Money In The Bank contract.

Two notes:

  • R-Truth as 24/7 Champion continues to deliver on YouTube, coming in at #3 with just under 1 million views
  • The Shane McMahon vs. Lance Anoa’i match, critically panned online, still garnered over a million views and was the second most watched video of the week.

My favorite video…Cesaro and Ricochet tearing it up once again!

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.
