Netflix has expressed satisfaction with RAW‘s performance after three weeks of streaming on the platform. During the fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, CEO Ted Sarandos commented on the show’s platform debut.
Sarandos shared viewership data about the program:
WWE RAW had a great start. In the first week, we reached about 5 million views, approximately twice the audience that Monday Night RAW used to get on linear TV, consistent with our model and audience growth expectations.
The first episode of RAW on Netflix, on January 6, 2025, featured appearances by The Rock, John Cena, and The Undertaker, turning the show into a special event.
