New data has surfaced regarding how WWE’s premium live events are performing on Netflix outside of North America, with figures now available for both Night of Champions and NXT Great American Bash alongside updated television ratings for AEW and TNA.
Dave Meltzer, the longtime wrestling journalist behind the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, has published a breakdown of international Netflix viewing numbers for both events. Night of Champions and the NXT Great American Bash were among the WWE productions that aired on Netflix as part of the company’s landmark streaming deal, which brought WWE programming to the platform globally and marked a significant shift in how the promotion distributes its content.
The Netflix partnership has been one of the most closely watched developments in wrestling’s media landscape over the past year. How WWE events perform internationally on the platform carries considerable weight, as the deal was positioned in part as a vehicle for growing the company’s audience in markets outside the United States. Both Night of Champions — which has historically been staged in Saudi Arabia as part of WWE’s ongoing partnership there — and Great American Bash represent different ends of the WWE programming spectrum, making viewership comparisons between the two potentially telling.
Meltzer’s report also touches on recent ratings for AEW and TNA, two of WWE’s primary competitors in the North American market, providing a broader snapshot of where the wrestling industry stands heading into what has been a packed summer period for major promotions.
Full details, including the specific numbers, are available to Wrestling Observer subscribers.
