The Raw and Smackdown youtube rankings could be an indication of the quality of the two shows.
Observations:
- Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte did incredible numbers for a women's segment. Emma's hype video, while only around 300k, is much better than many others.
- The Cruiserweight division is a flop according to these metrics
- Celebrities just don't draw, apparently. Especially c-list ones.
- Roman Reigns makes people watch.
- People remembered the Spirit Squad! Also, the Ziggler lowlight did well.
- Kane vs. Bray Wyatt was a shocking success.
- The second-to-worst Smackdown segment outdrew 8 Raw segments.
