Which Raw Segments Ranked The Highest On Youtube This Week?: Reigns Draws, Bad Numbers For Colons
The WWE and USA Network often use Neilson ratings to gauge interest in their programs. With technology increasing, the ratings systems haven't changed that much, and we're stuck not getting an appropriate quarter-hour breakdown.
However, WWE's own Youtube page can lend a little more insight to which segments are performing and drawing viewers, as most segments are released in an abbreviated form.
Roman Reigns drew giant numbers to the page, garnering almost over a million views more for his match against Alberto Del Rio than any other part of the show. Reigns was also in the only segment on Smackdown with a million views, taking on the Miz. Other moments that cracks one million views were the Stephanie McMahon/Shane McMahon segment, the in-ring debut of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, as well as the New Day's promo with Enzo, Cass and the Vaudevillains.
The median of the show was AJ Styles competing against Sheamus, which saw 773,304 plays. Most of the characters placed in the upper mid-card would see themselves above that 773,000 mark heading into Payback. The vignette promoting the new personas of Primo and Epico did really low figures, not even reaching 150,000.
