WWE has been releasing part of their shows on Youtube for some time. In fact, the first ever video that WWE uploaded on Youtube was back on February 7, 2008, which was a trailer for the PPV No Way Out. WWE has observed uphill popularity on Youtube ever since.
WWE currently has more than 39 million subscribers on Youtube as of this writing, making it the 7th most subscribed channel on Youtube. In a journey that started 11 years ago, WWE has uploaded more than 39 thousand videos. In this long journey, several videos have broken the charts earning an enormous amount of views. Currently, there are 2 videos with more than 100 million views.
However, some of these videos did not go very well with the fans and faced a lot of criticisms and dislikes. So if you were wondering if you have watched these videos, and perhaps even disliked them as well, here are WWE's 5 most disliked videos on Youtube.
#5 The Undertaker makes perhaps his final WrestleMania entrance
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Undertaker's matches at WrestleMania have been a subject of widespread criticism ever since WrestleMania 30. The Streak came to a shocking end when Brock Lesnar pinned the Deadman at WrestleMania 30.
While many argued if that would be his last appearance at WrestleMania, the Phenom however continued to fight beyond that event. He defeated Bray Wyatt and Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 31 and WrestleMania 32 respectively.
However, Undertaker's most controversial fight came against Roman Reigns, who he faced at WrestleMania 33. Most fans had already predicted that the Big Dog would give the Deadman his second loss at WrestleMania. The predictions were more like spoilers as Reigns comfortably pinned the Deadman to become only the second man to beat him at WrestleMania.
The video of the Phenom's entrance prior to his match is the 5th most disliked video on the channel with more than 17 thousand dislikes.
#4 Kevin Owens vs. Goldberg
The infamous bout between the then Universal champion Kevin Owens and Goldberg drew a lot of criticism after Owens was pinned by Goldberg in mere 22 seconds. Sure, his longtime friend turned enemy Chris Jericho provided the distraction, but the fans were still not happy with Owens losing the coveted title to a part-timer.
When WWE uploaded a part of their match on Youtube, the disliked started mounting up. The video has more than 19 thousand dislikes as of this writing. One of the mains reason for the backlash towards this match was the incredibly short duration of the match. Many fans believed that Owens and Jericho deserved to face each other at WrestleMania 33 for the Universal Championship, a title the former held for 188 days.
However, due to his defeat, Owens vs. Jericho was pushed to the mid-card where the former won his first ever United States Championship.
#3 Braun Strowman savagely attacks Roman Reigns
Since John Cena, Roman Reigns is arguably the most loved and hated superstar in WWE at the same time. The Big Dog's rivalry with Braun Strowman is one of the best rivalries of the modern era in WWE. The two feuded for the majority of 2017 and provided fans with some of the greatest moments in WWE's history.
The Monster among Men's attack on April 10th, 2017 edition of Raw was one such moment. While Reigns was still receiving a lot of hate for his victory against the Deadman at WrestleMania 33, WWE used this situation to help Strowman win over the fans. In his infamous assault, Strowman flipped over an ambulance with Reigns still in it.
Unlike the rest of the videos in this list, the video has more than 150 thousand likes. However, there are still more than 28 thousand dislikes making it the third most disliked video of the channel.
#2 Roman Reigns declares that WWE is his yard now
The negative reception of Roman Reigns could be observed with the mere fact that the Big Dog was involved in this list on three occasions. Interestingly, all the videos are somewhat related to his victory over the Undertaker at WrestleMania 33.
Roman Reigns was the opening act of Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania 33. Unsurprisingly, he was met with wild jeers of the crowd throughout his promo.
Reigns, however, held his ground and did not let the crowd get the better of him. Amidst the loud jeers, the Big Dog left the ring after only uttering five words: "This is my yard now."
Reigns' short promo further fueled the hostile reaction. The negative reaction wasn't just limited to the live audience, the video received a record number of dislikes on Youtube as well. The video quickly became the most disliked video on WWE's channel, a record that it held for almost 2 years. The video currently has more than 38 thousand dislikes.
#1 Charlotte Flair replaces Becky Lynch
If you were wondering who could topple Roman Reigns when it came to dislikes, you probably weren't expecting it to be Charlotte Flair. However, we'll never know if the reason behind the negative reaction is the hate for Charlotte Flair or the popularity of the Man, Becky Lynch.
Becky Lynch was given a deadline to apologize if she wanted to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35. While Lynch did apologize to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, her apology wasn't accepted by the CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon. The Genetic Jackhammer not only suspended Lynch for 60 days but also replaced her with Charlotte Flair to challenge Rousey at Wrestlemania 35.
The reaction to the video was so hostile that it became WWE's most disliked video on Youtube in a couple of days. The video currently has more than 64 thousand dislikes against a mere 24 thousand likes. However, these numbers will surely rise up to a greater extent as it has barely been a few days since the video was released.
