The October 20 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix brought in 2.6 million global views and 5.1 million global hours viewed according to data released by the streaming provider Tuesday.

The global views are 200,000 more than the previous two weeks (2.4 million) and its highest mark since the September 15 show that also did 2.6 million views. The global hours viewed are also the highest since that same week.

The episode featured the follow-up to the Seth Rollins/Vision angle from the prior week and featured the reveal of what the future of the WWE World Heavyweight title would be — a battle royal to determine who would face CM Punk for the vacant title at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The show was back to its normal start time of 8 PM Eastern. Domestically, it competed against two NFL Monday Night Football games in addition to the MLB ALCS playoff game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners.

Here are Dave Meltzer’s thoughts on the numbers.

Raw Viewership Details:

  • The episode ranked sixth globally and fourth in the United States. It finished in the top ten in 17 countries worldwide which included Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, India, and Saudi Arabia.
  • The listed 1:53 run time was virtually identical to the previous week.
  • Despite the bump, the average for the last ten weeks decreased slightly to 2.5 million global views and 4.95 million global hours viewed.

Viewership for the October 6 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix was not tied with the lowest of all time, but wasn’t that much higher either.

In new data released by the streaming giant Tuesday, the October 6 show generated 2.4 million global views and 4.8 million global hours viewed.

The global views are up 100,000 from the past two weeks’ record low of 2.3 million while the global hours viewed were the show’s highest since the September 15 episode’s 5.3 million.

It also faced primetime sports competition domestically from both the NFL (over 22 million viewers for their Monday Night Football game) and the Major League Baseball playoffs (Los Angeles vs. Philadelphia).

The show began at its normal time of 8 PM Eastern following several weeks of 7 PM kickoffs.

WWE Raw viewership declines slightly for April 7 episode

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

The 4/7 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix looks to have done its second lowest numbers in the U.S. and similarly elsewhere as it declined from last week and was even below most weeks that didn’t include India.

Netflix listed the show as doing 2.8 million views and 5.7 million total viewed hours which would be a drop of 3.4 percent from the prior week based on their numbers.

However, they listed a show time of one hour and 50 minutes. The show went two hours 30 minutes live and one hour 50 minutes for the edited replay put up at least a day later.

Netflix listed Raw as No. 10 for the week among English language television shows and are dangerously close to falling out of the top ten and having no numbers publicly available.

Overall, it was, at best, No. 26 among all shows on Netflix during the past week.

WWE Raw on Netflix viewership for March 24 down from prior week

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

The Monday, March 24th WWE Raw show, which was week two of the Cody Rhodes/John Cena debate and Bron Breakker vs. Penta, dropped from the first week of the Cena/Rhodes debate show where Cena blamed the fans.

Netflix listed a 3.2 percent overall drop, listing 5.6 million hours and 3.0 million global views. Some of the decline in minutes was due to running a shorter replay show than the week before but the live show was the same length of time. They listed a run time of one hour and 44 minutes when it was two hours 24 minutes for the first day when the majority of the viewing was.

This was the largest sleight of hand to date. Based on how Nielsen or a television station would track those minutes, it would be 2,471,000 homes and 3,385,000 worldwide viewers or a drop of 11.4 percent from the 3/17 show.
