WWE Raw May 19 episode does second-lowest global views & lowest hours viewed in Netflix era

The May 19th edition of WWE Raw did what appears to be the lowest number of U.S. viewers and the lowest viewer hours the show has done on Netflix.

Netflix’s listings for the show were five million viewing hours and 2.7 million global views. 

The 2.7 million figure would tie last week and be ahead of only the 2/24 show (2.6 million), but the five million viewing hours was the lowest for Raw since moving to Netflix.  That number was down two percent, but that is also due to a shorter run time of the show on 5/19 as the replay was cut to one hour and 40 minutes, nine minutes shorter than the prior week.

The show ranked No. 9 worldwide among English language television shows on the service.  It was at best No. 27 among all shows in all languages, as 17 foreign movies and foreign language television shows finished ahead, and at least ten U.S. movies did as well, but it could be far more than ten.

WWE Raw on Netflix March 31 global views slightly down, total viewing minutes up

Because of adding India to its universe, it’s impossible to get as accurate a gauge on how the March 31 edition of WWE Raw did on Netflix.

Netflix listed it as No. 8 for the week with 5.9 million viewer hours and 2.9 million views. Because the show was ten minutes longer live than the two prior weeks, Netflix had it down three percent overall even though total viewer time was up.

That’s notable because it was down even with adding the audience in India where the first week’s show surprisingly did not crack the top ten among English language shows in that country. It clearly shows that the huge Sony Ten audience Raw delivered, which is in the millions, did not move to watching on Netflix in any significant numbers at all.

But as far as comparing numbers, since they again figured numbers based on the idea almost everyone watched on replay which is not the case, figuring 80 percent got the two hour and 34 minute version last week and 20 percent got the one hour and 51 minute version, that would be 2,650,000 homes and being generous, 3,631,000 total viewers worldwide.

WWE Raw March 17 Netflix viewership remains consistent; Dave Meltzer analysis

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

The 3/17 episode of WWE Raw, built around the first John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes confrontation post-Cena heel turn, was a very interesting number as Netflix listed 5,800,000 hours viewed and 3,100,000 global views.

The problem with that is that they listed the show’s run time as one hour 49 minutes. However, the show’s actual run time was two hours 24 minutes not only live, but for the next day as well on replay as I checked and it was still two hours and 24 minutes. They did eventually edit it down to one hour and 49 minutes but that was two days later.  But once again, they came up with the number of viewers by dividing the total hours by the replay time number, not the live and same day number of time.

In doing so, they listed actual viewing time as down 3.3 percent from last week while at the same time listing total viewers as up 3.3 percent.  While this sounds contradictory, it really isn’t on the surface because it was a shorter show than the week before except for those who watched on replay for the first 24 hours where it was 35 minutes longer. But even using the most favorable identical percentage of the “live show until the replay is up without commercials” when clearly that wasn’t the case, you end up with almost identical numbers to the Madison Square Garden show and the CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins cage match.

Subscriber exclusive: WWE Raw March 10 viewership on Netflix remains steady

The 3/10 WWE Raw show, built around the CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins cage match from Madison Square Garden, saw the show’s second straight worldwide increase.

The early numbers last week indicated an increase, which was a solid 4.8 percent up from the strong numbers of the show the week before. That show’s numbers were driven by the John Cena turn angle on Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber.

Netflix itself listed a 3.2 percent decline from 6.3 million hours viewed and 3.1 million viewers to this week’s 6.0 million hours viewed and 3.0 million viewers.

However, the decline is because while the live show was the same as the week before, the replay show was shorter in time, cut to one hour and 49 minutes.

Figuring real numbers combining live and replay viewing, you get 2,774,000 views and roughly 3,800,000 worldwide viewers over the one week period, both up 4.8 percent from the 3/3 show.
