Raw YouTube Report (4/2/18)

Many people immediately begin to want to know the ratings number after Raw, which is important. However these days we consume content alot differently than in 1999 or even 2009. Quick clips on the YouTube is what most people would look for if they missed the show.

It’s my belief that this is an accurate gauge of the casual fan. The fan that didn’t DVR the show or won’t set aside the three hours on another night. However want to still know what’s going on, as a PPV is approaching.

Here are the current YouTube views for Raw:

1.  Roman Reigns unleashes on Brock Lesnar before WrestleMania: 7.4 Million Views
2. Stephanie McMahon send Ronda Rousey through a table: 3.9 Million Views
3. The Bar Meets Brains Strowman: 3 Million Views
4. The Undertaker does not respond to John Cena’s challenge: 1.8 Million Views
5. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor: 743k Views
6. Bayley gets payback on Sasha Banks: 705K Views
7. Braun Strowman drives Curt Hawkins through a wall: 571k Views
8. Roman Reigns is tired of Brock Lesnar’s disrespec: 557k Views
9. Asuka & Dana Brooke vs. Mickie James and Alexa Bliss: 524K Views
10. Kurt Angle asks Paul Heyman for a favor: 492K Views

This week Lesnar and Reigns did absolutely phenomenal numbers. Their WrestleMania build has been the most viewed thing on WWE YouTube for WrestleMania. If you wonder why they are in the spot they are in, thats why. Rousey has proved to be a tremendous draw also on YouTube. This week’s winner though is Braun Strowman. He jumped back into the top 3 this week and did so posting over 3 million. Last week he did just over 700k and 500k the week prior. People love his charisma and character work, keep doing that WWE.

The big loser this week is again Elias with just 162K views. This is a decrease week over week where the time he’s alotted and the booking he gets should produce a better number.  This is again a red flag and I begin to wonder if the live crowds love him bit casuals don’t care.
