This week Smackdown featured Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler facing off, a six-woman tag team match, and AJ Styles versus Baron Corbin. The YouTube videos from Smackdown did not do well this week.

The only videos with over 500 thousand views are the matches of Owens versus Ziggler and Corbin versus Styles. All four of those men and Sami Zayn will be in a WWE Championship match at WWE Fastlane. The video of Ruby Riott calling out Naomi and Charlotte Flair only has 67 thousand views. 

Raw this week had improved ratings as it averaged 3.5 million viewers over the first two hours and 2.8 million in the third hour. 

Fightful Wrestling had live coverage and a recapping podcast for Smackdown. There will also be the same for WWE Fastlane.
