WWE RAW dominates Netflix rankings despite shorter runtime
Latest WWE RAW episode on Netflix maintains strong viewership performance, ranking as most-watched show in US despite running 30 minutes shorter than usual.
The latest episode of WWE RAW, broadcast from San Jose, California, continues to generate strong numbers on Netflix. The show featured several notable moments, including Penta’s victorious debut against Chad Gable, Lyra Valkyria capturing the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Championship, and Damian Priest defeating Finn Balor in a Street Fight main event.
While some viewers noted the shorter 2-hour and 30-minute runtime compared to the 3-hour premiere, the episode’s performance on Netflix tells a different story. The wrestling program currently ranks as the top-watched show in the United States, surpassing “American Primeval” in viewership.
The red brand’s success extends beyond wrestling content on the platform. RAW outperformed popular titles like “Jerry Springer: LCA” (third place), “Squid Game 2” (fourth place), and other high-profile shows including “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” and “Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy.”
WWE’s international reach through Netflix has also proven substantial. RAW, SmackDown, and NXT have secured positions in the top 10 rankings across multiple markets, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. The premiere episode’s impact remains evident, with reports indicating an average of 2.6 million US households tuning in, while international viewership reached 4.9 million households across various markets.
