WWE has stopped the uploading of Raw highlights on YouTube until after the broadcast with the idea being it will help the declining ratings of the flagship broadcast.

For a number of years, WWE has been uploading highlights as the show is airing but there is a concern that they are losing viewers on network television by doing this.

USA Network is very concerned about the decline in ratings and there are even reports FOX want WWE to drop the brand-split.

The move will be likely be adopted for tonight's WWE SmackDown Live.
