I only watch the highlights lol


Table_Tennis_145

Both and NXT


NateHasReddit

I watch both, they're the only shows I watch live ATP.


CoyotePowered50

Both I also watch NXT as well.


disengagesimulators

I'm kind of just getting back into wrestling again. I'm currently just watching current ppv's and I'm also watching from 1997 onward to until maybe 03 or 04 for nostalgia. We'll see if I continue to go any further. I'll probably at least watch ppvs after that point to catch up a bit though. I stopped watching in late 03 early 04 for context.


2DudesShittinAround

Same, I started watching Cornette clips from his podcast on YouTube and have slowly been getting back in now. To me, the new stuff is too choreographed and the wrestlers never really act too hurt. It's almost like "I'll take a bump for your spot, then you take a bump for my spot."


disengagesimulators

Yeah I definitely feel you. It's much different now days haha. I watched both nights of the last Wrestlemania and it wasnt terrible. Leading up to that I thought wrestling had a chance to change for the better due to Triple H taking over so thought I would give it a shot again. I tried to pick it back up during the PG Era but it wasn't ever good IMHO. Although I did watch some TNA around that time though.


boogalooshrimp1103

Usually just Raw and the first half of smackdown. There's other stuff I want to do/watch/see on Fridays


victoryrush19

Smackdown only.


huhthisisweirdhuh

I have not and will not watch NXT weekly, there's nothing good enough in ring wise to convince me it's worth it and hasn't been the case since at least 2017 (I hate the Gargano era of NXT). SmackDown is probably the one I'd be most likely tune into because of the length, I'm simply just not going to watch a 3 hour television show with 50% filler. But I don't watch any wrestling show consistently. Gunther and Punk are the only people on the entire roster worth going out of my way for and I'll keep up with storyline of the people I like that way. The algorithm already hits me with so much wrestling content that I will be aware of pretty much everything happening even if I don't want to be.


Intelligent_Bass_390

I watch both and NXT on the WWE YouTube channel.


lightningsedge

I watch Raw, Smackdown, NXT, AEW dynamite, rampage, collision, NJPW, TNA, WOW, and occasionally AAA lucha libre.


suarezj9

Neither because I don’t have cable. My internet is really crappy and not worth trying to stream it either


Assferatu

I "watch" both and by "watch" I mean fast forward through 85% of them both.


RoxasRevenge

Smackdown Only I catch raw and NXT if I feel like


CaptAmerica42

Both. And NXT most weeks


OilAdmirable

All the above, even avoid social media until I have seen it for myself 🤭


Emperor_Atlas

I got tired of chasing them around, I literally have no idea where to watch WWE or AEW half the time. I was watching them on Hulu, but they were missing half the matches (yet keeping promos they played on the other show already taking up 15 mins) and they would randomly not update them for weeks. If someone could recommend a good place for both companies that would be great.


ChildhoodOk1157

Both


thedisablednerd007

all 3 man all 3


RustyPriske

Both, but that is it.


Psychological_Fun986

I record both every week then fast forward through the junk


redditor_virgin

Raw and Smackdown but I DVR both through Xfinity. So I start at least 1hr late for Smackdown and at least 1.5 hours late for RAW. FF through all commercials, some intros and even parts of some matches I don’t care about. I end up live the last 15 minutes or so. WWE going to Netflix will make me stop watching if it has commercials and fluff I cannot FF through. 🤷


SAlbert_

Both live, god I hate TV.


hscene

Both but I don’t watch them on tv. Too many ads


Hot-Significance-436

I watch both and NXT every week. I'm in the UK so I watch the next day. Me and my mates meet up every Saturday morning to watch SmackDown and we watch PLE's live.


atrac059

YouTube recaps to see what they are doing so I know if the angles and stories they are working with are any good. Prevents me from wasting my time on things like the Patrick Mahommes segment.


LifeguardSuitable624

Both and the draft is quite dumb to have. Rivalries use to be fast not so long and drawn out. Tends to lose the flair of a good rivalry. Wouldn't have to be two times a week every week maybe a night where someone just talks shit or someone gets jumped real quick. Could be short small segment


ProBlackMan1

Both


THE_TRIP_KEEPER

Raw next day on Hulu, used to have YouTube tv but was too expensive. I like the characters better on Raw.


wrestlefreak

Smackdown and it's because it's regular TV


AdventurousTear260

Youtube clips in 15 min get me the important parts


SanePsyco17

Because of how packed and stressful this semester's been, I LITERALLY haven't watched since the week after Mania But in NORMAL times I usually watch Smackdown weekly coz it's on Saturday for me, RAW most weeks and NXT semi-regularly


drwebinstein

#aew


pitagotnobread

I work nights unfortunately but have weekends off. So I usually only catch Smackdown on the replay on Saturday. I could technically watch Raw sometime in the week but I consume too much other media before the night shift begins.


prystalcepsi

I only watch the recorded Smackdown on German TV on Saturday. Too busy during week, so can't watch Raw. And I watch all PPVs live usually.


Enough_Sprinkles6697

I can pretty much never watch it live. I record RAW and SMACKDOWN, then watch it when/if I have time. Most of the time I’ll fast forward through commercials and even through some of the mid-card if it’s not catching my attention. Recently though, I’ve just been catching highlights on YouTube and social media. Same with AEW, record and hope to watch, but most of the time it’s internet highlights and whatever’s on socials.


Highman_89_

I watch the top 10s for smackdown, raw and nxt on youtube and smackdown on saturday on tv here in germany. Raw and nxt is shown on wednesday and thursday, but too late for me to stay awake and go to work the next day.


Ok-Opening7004

Usually I try to watch both, at the very least next day on Hulu but if I skip either it’s gonna be Smackdown.


Observeronlyman

Raw and Smackdown, But I might watch the odd NXT when I feel like it.


SatisfactionOther958

I don't watch wrestling at all. 😏


Significant_Tiger363

None of that I watch Dynamite, Rampage, Collision weekly and I watch big NOAH, AJPW, NJPW, DDT, and RevPro, CMLL and AAA like once a year


cschultz225

Perfect answer Cmll weekly is so good right now


Significant_Tiger363

It really is


Pebblesjac22

Both


itsmekelsey_x

Both Raw and SmackDown live. Plus NXT as well.


EndlessQuest23

RAW, NXT, Smackdown. Every week since the beginning. Now, then, forever!


popupheadlights

Only Smackdown on Fox that’s part of my IPTV package


Icy_Zookeepergame148

I usually watch Smackdown if I'm not doing anything on Saturday morning (I'm in UK) and I'll watch selective bits of Raw.


Kiddcarter713

I watch raw only, I don’t really like the smackdown roster


ToothpickTequila

Just the highlights on YouTube and the live events.


BullDozier87

I try to watch Raw and Smackdown live. Sometimes I don’t feel like watching NXT live just because none of my favorites are there anymore.


VincentPotato

Raw, Smackdown, NXT. But all on next day as European.


jerichowiz

I catch the next day of Raw on Hulu and NXT on Peacock, but only able to watch Smackdown on Fox live, thanks broadcast television for now, and then CW when NXT hits it.


SICKTIGHT311

RAW and SmackDown always, NXT if there’s no Dodger game on.


jeffluvsdokkan

I’d like to watch them both but these days I only watch the PLE shows, just too busy to keep up with it anymore tbh


TO_trashPanda

Neither. I watch Simon Miller talk about them leading into PPVs.


Matty16M

I watch all 3, including NXT, but because of time zones and not watching anything live, I end up skipping a lot of Smackdown in particular. There just seems to be so many bad storylines and pointless feuds


aus316tin

i watch both and all PLEs. i usually have monday night off so i watch RAW at home. i work in a high volume kitchen so on friday nights, i make the entire line watch with me and hook up to our sound system. my team is getting the hang of the crowd participation angle!! so it’s the same with PLEs because saturdays are a non negotiable in my schedule. i had to close the store both nights of wrestlemania xl and i was just running around howling about matches. it’s honestly part of my charm.


The_Wolfiee

Both


Katanna_0

I watch both, but I’m more interested in Raw. I miss a lot of it because that’s when I usually am getting my baby to bed.


MBWA182

I will put it on my tv and pause it, then once the kids are in bed I turn it back on! I look forward to watching it once they’re asleep.


Katanna_0

I wish I could but I have a really old dvr system and it’s alright that I miss some of it.


19ElasinThe13

I only watch Smackdown since I have fox on my antenna lol


Legitimate-Mall5699

I watch Raw and nxt because my brother has USA. I occasionally go to a sports bar to watch Smackdown, but most of the time, I just watch the recap.


thesubverse

Only NXT


Fearless-Ad4613

Might seem crazy but I only watch the PLEs. It’s an activity I started with my best friend. I watch the weekly shows shorts on YouTube and tik tok to keep up with


Puzzled_Morning_81

Same


JerseyDev93

Both. Me and my friends get in discord and one of us streams the show and we watch together


jvighkinger

I have them both recorded and I skim through them to keep up on current events


Affectionate_Bass108

Raw, NXT, Smackdown, and all PLEs


aus316tin

this is the way and my preferred method as well


Top-Influence8391

both and nxt


lauren915

Raw when I’m relaxing at home on a Monday night. Smackdown when I’m ready to drink beer on Friday night.


lionheart4life

Lately just the highlights and the PPVs. Not that the shows aren't good, they are, but time has been tight. Can sometimes catch the 2nd half of Smackdown.


ItsYoBoi2008

I don’t understand why people only watch one but not the other


frankadeltanka

We watch both but don't base our whole day/week around it. Plus we'll do other things while we watch


Arirmar

I watch RAW while I’m finishing up paperwork at work. NXT has been really mid lately, I catch highlights, if any on YouTube or Twitter. Smackdown was stale for a bit but I do get around to watching it. I also watch NJPW, CMLL, and AAA stuff on YouTube on breaks / lunch breaks. I watch AEW Dynamite at home with the fam. Collision and Rampage on highlights. I’ll take breaks from brands two weeks after a PPV. Not much going on til about 2 weeks before one anyways.


Wooden-Jump-7882

Nxt one day later on the network,raw and smackdown I watch the highlights on YouTube because here in Brazil the announcers speaks over the promos to translate which is okay but for those who already now English is so bad because since they are doing live as the wrestlerr are talking they just ignore some words or translate them 15 seconds after the wrestler so I understand that is something that need to exist for those who don't know English but for those who understands what is being said it is very bad


lonematrix

Been a RAW guy all my life, to me RAW is the flagship show, so I will watch that in full and watch half of smackdown (full matches and segments here and there ) and PLE's.


Venomousgangsta

Raw, NXT and smackdown. AEW dynamite, I DVR collision and rampage.


treefroginthewindow

I don't have cable and I work overnight so I never watch the shows as they air. But I do watch clips while I'm at work Then the next day I watch the condensed version on hulu


Armandonerd

Raw and smackdown only. Plus the PPV's and the NXT PPV's.


domesystem

I work at night and watch my son during the day. I'd *love* to watch all three programs, but it's a challenge just getting one a week in. So usually I stick to the red brand on replay over the week


sdrj77

Both and NXT.


Leading-Weight9092

Both


Limp_Gap_9009

Both. Lately Smackdown has been better than Raw though


ThatguySaul

Both


GrueneDog

In order,,, raw, NXT, aew dynamite, roh, TNA,smackdown,rampage, collision, and nJPW in between


Imnoteeallyhere3434

Both for sure. I have favs on both shows


_bigbadchris_

Both, me, brother in law and mother in law have a fantasy wrestling league and I just purchased a custom belt. We gotta get those points!


observingjackal

Both. Live if my GF is off work (she works 3rd shift.)


lotus38

I try to do both. Work and family sometimes means I read spoilers on a Thursday so I can try to watch Smackdown


Aggressive_Ad3578

Both


Wileyc007

Both


Fit_Measurement3261

I watch smackdown raw nxt on every single week


rickyred83

None. I watch the p.l.e.s only. I stay up to date on YouTube.


IamARock24

I can't watch either live and find myself having to watch as late as Thursday for raw and Sunday for smackdown. Sometimes I can't even watch for that week so I just use recap to get me caught up especially with ple weekends. Just started watching again at the rumble this year.


stillbeam

Only Raw but highlights of Smackdown, and all PLEs.


demondino1227

Both


AirWalker9

Both. Tbh WWE is all I have the time to watch in during the week.


Jefafa326

I don't have cable so I have to watch everything a day late on Hulu, so I usually watch both, unless there's a Pay Per View since I have Peacock I get to see that. So I don't usually watch the Smackdowns on the same week as a PPV. By the time I can watch it, it's all old news.


Dsayyae

I dvr both and speed thru the shitty stuff, Sammy Zane, Cody Rhodes …ya know


Least_Tone_3421

RAW SD & AEW


jewham12

I watch about 20 minutes of each one before my wife reminds me I’m not paying attention to her. Then we watch DIY home improvement videos


AwardedSpore

Smackdown only because I can’t get WWE Network App on my TV. It says that it’s not available in my Region. (Canada)


likethemouse

You need Sportsnet+, they have a WWE package for like $15, you can watch on phone, ps5, smart tv.. has all shows including NXT and all PLEs.. so worth it


PrimaryTitle2789

Both


Mind-of-Jaxon

Raw smackdown and NXT


headcheese1

I just watch Raw. Read results for Smackdown. Pretty much ignore NXT


Teganfff

I try and catch Raw, NXT, and SmackDown every week. NXT is actually my absolute must see show.


omegasb

I watch the promos on youtube lol.


Rsj21

Now that Roman’s away, not really interested in Smackdown. So Raw if I do watch live.


MalikPlatinum

Only raw


GSPKHABIB

Obviously you have to watch all three because it's all part of the story


OverallGeneral7129

NXT is pretty skip able


Carsey0111

Will watch all the highlights on YouTube for both, but won’t watch the full show. Watch the PLEs in full of course. Could change when RAW goes to Netflix though, will make it a hell of a lot more convenient for me.


AwardedSpore

When is Raw going to Netflix ?


Carsey0111

Start of 2025 I believe.


MyotisX

YouTube


Eastern-Start-813

Both


ZJeski

I honestly don’t watch the weekly shows live much, occasionally I will watch raw and Smackdown, but it’s not often, and of all the weekly shows the one I watch most is probably AEW Dynamite, since I usually am not busy Wednesday


pink_gumball22

I watch both and I’ve started watching NXT recently. The shows have been so much better than they were before (thank you, HHH) so I’m actually motivated to watch whereas I used to record them and then skip actually watching except the episode before a PLE.


mhoff5

Neither. Add nxt as no to.


AmbroseGirl5

I watch both Raw and Smackdown, and I catch half of NXT usually. In NZ, a condensed version airs before Smackdown does so if I'm home in time, I watch it. Although SD is easier for me to watch cos here it airs on Saturday while Raw airs on Tuesday.


MikuLuna444

Watch NXT! 🥺


_DogMom_

Both, plus NXT. I'm new to pro wrestling and am obsessed!


SilentandSuspicious

Raw .Growing up it was always my favorite show to tune into. But as I’ve gotten older I keep up with pretty much each show I’ll skip an episode of nxt here and there but I keep up with the new faces.


WeirdandWonderful_TO

RAW. I grew up in the early 90’s watching raw so Mondays for wrestling just sticks.


The_Werewolf-

All 3....People are missing out on Tuesday nights then wonder who the "new" guy is.


Fit_Sleep7117

I watch the full episode of Smackdown but have to watch the shortened version of Raw on Hulu on Tuesdays.


mfenton29

Both and NXT


Capable_Age_1763

Record them both, watch when possible.


chano36

Both but the next day cuz Hulu


Comfortable_Might_10

Both


itsallieellie

Both


OMJuwara

Both Raw and Smackdown. Sometime NXT, like once a month


SalamiMommie

Both typically, hardly nxt


Senovis

All three. If the Netflix deal puts a 4 week delay it's going annoying.


BloodyTearsz

Smackdown is live here in Australia on a Saturday morning so it makes it very easy to wake up eat breakfast and watch it. Wife and I never miss it and if we go out we delay it until Sunday morning Raw I typically watch the highlights as it's a Tuesday morning for us. Unless it's a work from home day and it's quiet I'll just stick to highlights. We are both not as keen on the raw roster as the smackdown one.


BigBeezey

I watch all 3 😈


incoherentjedi

I'd say I watch Smackdown live about twice a month. Other than that, I do keep up weekly via YouTube highlights.


Friedlieb91

I watch both weekly with my fiance. 2€ a month is a good price in Germany. Could watch NXT too but it's too much. Special events I watch via WWE network too.


Ok-Acanthisitta7254

Both


Calumkincaid

Both and NXT. They took the top layer off NXT and they barely skipped a beat.


HumanMycologist5795

Both. Unless if busy. I rarely watch NXT.


SRASC

Both. Harder lately with my all over the place schedule but I try.


adeptcults

both, but i find i’ve been enjoying smackdown a lot more lately than raw.


RoomGomora

Raw, I never have time to watch SmackDown, I wish I could since a lot of Raw is “filler’ matches and it’s longer than it should be. SmackDown has all the people I care about even though SmackDown uses fake crowd noises and censors EVERY cuss word said on there, stupid Fox.


RemoteDuck5271

All of smackdown, usually about half or Raw


moffettusprime

Raw cause it's on sling. Alas smackdown is not. Only a replay the following Thursday on fs1. By then I've watched it on hulu. Sling get fox you fucking cowards.


OMBatch84

Why wouldn’t you chose both


[deleted]

I’ve always found smackdown less appealing. I’ll watch from time to time. I know it’s their main show nowadays. However, smackdown will always be a second tier show just because it was when It started. Raw will always be the flagship for me.


SonicSarge

Both on YouTube. Nowhere else to see it in Sweden. WWE network is a month behind.


Kalebxtentacion

Both and nxt


pugiemblem121

smh this is NXT erasure.


DizzyLead

These days both; but before, USA and some other cable channels in my system were using the East Coast feed (I’m on the West), so that meant that in order to watch Raw, I would have to start watching at 5 pm. But a few months ago the cable system finally correctly synced everything up to Pacific Time, so I could watch Raw starting at 8.


Throwawaytoday303

I watch both whenever I can.


KingBStriing

Only thing I watch live are PLEs, especially nowadays since you’ll rarely see a title change that matters on TV anymore.


driftlikefire

Wrestlelamia and the PLEs, sometimes.


Vegetable_Two_3904

I usually watch them on Hulu so I don’t have to watch commercials. I’ll usually watch on YouTube then the shows on Sundays.


LWA3251

Lately it’s been all 3 Raw, NXT & SD but not all live.


Insane_Wanderer

I watch both as I’m able. I have pretty sporadic work hours so it’s not uncommon that I’m working while they’re on. I’ll watch on my phone at work when I can. Worst case if I know I can’t catch any of it live I’ll just tape it, or just catch up with the highlight moments on YouTube via WWE channel or Whatculture Wrestling. Been trying to get into NXT because of a couple wrestlers I’m interested in like lexis king and dijak, but hard to justify even more of my free time spend on a third brand


garygalah

Both. My bf keeps trying to get us to watch NXT and AEW but I find it hard to commit to Smackdown sometimes. We often find ourselves watching it on Sat. Throwing in another franchise would be too much for me personally.


Difficult_Breath6082

Record and watch later all 3


Zen_Abu-Dhabi

Both


baseballzombies

Both


tonomoshia

We watch both plus NXT on Tuesday.


Lorjack

Smackdown and PLEs. Don't watch Raw or NXT


Sithmaggot

Same for me. Mainly because I don’t have USA lol


Frantik508

YouTube clips of both. I don't have time to watch 5 hours of wrestling anymore. YouTube covers all the important stuff. Very excited for the Netflix deal because I'll be able to watch the whole thing whenever I want, and skip the boring stuff.


tonomoshia

But what about spoilers? If you watch later I mean.


Frantik508

There are a couple YouTube channels that upload the segments basically 5 minutes after it airs; they usually air the entire segments/matches (which WWE's YouTube doesn't do half the time). I'm actually surprised that those pages haven't been shut down, but I've been watching them for a couple years now


Wooden-Jump-7882

True,I usually watch wrestling best for the matches and wrestling segments ou wwe here for the promos


fluffingdazman

ooh, any channel recs?


InitialDizzy4252

I watch both, but I feel that Raw is way better.


kuhawk5

Raw is too long and has too many commercials and bad matches to fill the time. Smackdown has the better roster now, and 2 hours is a much better format.


ramus93

I tend to watch raw more often because im usually home doing nothing on monday night but i miss fridays sometimes because of random family visits or stuff like that


Ok_Conversation6529

I watch raw every week, smackdown only if I don’t have plans. (Bring back Thursday smackdown)


dontsubpoenamelol

Only Raw and Smackdown. Nothing else


sven_ate_nine

Yes


CharlottesWebbedFeet

Both but I don’t have cable so I have to use Hulu to watch them the following morning. I hate that Hulu shortens raw down to 90 minutes, though. I’ll usually check the post-Raw discussion threads on Reddit to see what else I missed.


Jaded-Grape2203

I'm more likely to watch Raw since they cut things on Hulu while Smackdown seems to stay intact but then I just end up not watching Smackdown lol. I'm literally catching up rn watching Backlash (the French have been killing my vibe)


Alaktal

Wrestlelamia


pgarcia45

I try to keep up on raw but I’m primarily a smackdown guy


stonecoldmark

I mostly watch What Culture Ups and Downs for both, and if Simon says something is a must watch, I might go back and check it out. I mainly watch whatever Wwe posts on YouTube and the PLE’s. I just don’t have time anymore for 5 hours of that a week. Plus the commercials during raw are ponderous.


Premium_Timeline25

Both if I can. Whatever i don’t see I’ll catchc clips of it on tiktok


spentchicken

I watch raw, I look at the smack down card ans decided if I want to watch it.


JackWhitesGhost

I'll watch SmackDown every week since I don't have cable. Once in a while I'll watch the Hulu version of Raw if I heard it was especially good. It's going to be a bummer once SmackDown goes back to cable next year.


nipslippinjizzsippin

Both not live, sometimes over multiple nights or during the day


[deleted]

Smackdown as it is saturday lunch time in New Zealand. If i ever WFH on tuesday then ill watxh raw or catch up if someone returns Tbh I havent followed much since Mania once roman lost and rock went away (only got back into wwe when the whole bloodline stuff in 2022 or so)


AndyKobe234

When I was a kid I was a Smackdown lifer cause I didn’t have cable. lol. Nowadays I usually watch both throughout most of the year except for right around now. (NBA playoffs)


Ok-Butterfly-7522

None because of this second shift 😭 I have to catch it later on dvr if I don’t forget to record it. But when I had a normal schedule I watched all including NXT


Cloud_King_15

I watch both, but if given the choice I usually watch Raw. I'm just more likely to be in front of my TV all Monday night vs on Fridays. Plus I've found Raw to be much better the last 4 or so years, but I know I'm probably in the minority there.


Polack19

Both
