For decades Monday Night Raw spent the majority of its run airing on USA Network, but earlier this year the red brand made the jump to Netflix. Since then there’s been a lot of talk about what the show is drawing in regards to viewership, and now a new report has shed some light on the subject.
Variety is now reporting that the week of July 7th was the 27th straight week that WWE Raw hit the top 10 on Netflix globally. According the report the show is averaging just over 6.3 million hours viewed per week, and just over 3 million views per week.
It was noted that a view is defined as total hours viewed divided by total runtime. The report also noted that in the fall of 2024, WWE Raw was averaging 1.65 million viewers per week on USA Network.
“Netflix has been amazing, in every sense of the word. They are phenomenal partners,” says WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. “And we can’t say enough about WWE fans. They’ve shown up in full force, as passionate and engaged as ever.”
“It’s everything we could have hoped for and more,” says Gabe Spitzer, vice president of sports at Netflix. “We knew going in that we’re not going to change WWE. It was more, how can we add to it in small ways, and that’s what we’ve seen so far.”
According to Spitzer, WWE Raw has been doing well internationally as it’s been in the top 10 list in Canada for 26 weeks, the U.K. for 23 weeks and Mexico for 22 weeks. Premium live events are said to be a hot commodity on Netflix as Elimination Chamber made the top 10 in 37 countries.
