WWE Raw misses weekly Netflix global top ten as new challenger emerges

Posted on by Josh Nason

WWE Raw’s attempt to return to the Netflix global top ten for the second straight week was upended by the return of 19th century high society Londoners.

Revealed during Tuesday’s weekly Tudum viewership report, the return of the popular Bridgerton series took not only the top spot in the global top ten but three of the top spots overall (season one and season three). The fourth season bowed with 39.7 million global views and over 174 million global hours viewed on just over four hours of screen time to lead the week.

Those other two Bridgerton seasons resided in the no. 10 spot with 2.7 million global views, meaning the Monday, January 26 episode — the Royal Rumble go-home edition — was less than that. That three-way tie also included the final season of Stranger Things.

Raw did appear in the U.S. top ten, ranking at number six. It also was in the top ten in seven other countries like Canada and Mexico, but no viewership data was provided. It was headlined by an impromptu WWE World Heavyweight title match between CM Punk and AJ Styles.

The January 19 episode returned to the top ten last week in what has been a tough fight for Raw since Stranger Things returned last fall. Since November 17, Raw has only appeared in the top ten three times and not on consecutive weeks.

The much-celebrated first anniversary of WWE Raw on Netflix vaulted the show back into the Netflix global top ten according to the streamer’s Tudum chart.

The January 5 episode brought in a reported 3.2 million global views and 5.9 million global hours viewed, headlined by WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defending the title against Bron Breakker.

The episode finished tenth overall on a chart where half of the spots are still being taken up by every season of Stranger Things. It placed sixth overall in the United States and was a top ten show in nine countries worldwide.

It’s the first time the show has charted globally since December 8, 2025.

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.
