The ring break worked.
Braun Strowman was a giant success on Monday Night Raw, with his three Raw segments averaging 1.75 million Youtube views -- almost unheard of for a show-long storyline. That wasn't the only success story on the program, as Jeff Hardy vs. Cesaro landed at over a million Youtube views, and Miz TV with Dean Ambrose hitting 900k.
The Strowman views are particularly impressive because it's become a common theme. While not one day totals like mentioned above, he drew 7.83 million for his attack on Reigns, 1.93 million for his contract signing with Roman, 4.22 million for a face off with Brock Lesnar, 2.62 million against Big Show in February, another 3.91 million against Show in February 2016, 2.06 million against Ambrose, 2.04 million against Kevin Owens, 1.74 million against Reigns, 1.68 million against Mark Henry, 1.29 million for a handicap match. This is just barely scratching the surface.
