WWE Raw Holds Steady on Netflix Global Charts

WWE Raw showed no movement in Netflix’s latest global rankings, matching its performance from the previous week as the streamer’s Tudum platform released fresh viewership figures.

The July 20 episode of Raw pulled in 2.4 million global views, landing at No. 6 worldwide and No. 5 in the United States. Those numbers are identical to what the July 13 episode drew, meaning Raw posted zero week-over-week growth or decline. It’s the second straight week the show has held those exact chart positions on both the global and domestic Netflix rankings.

While a flat week might not sound like cause for celebration, the bigger story here is the year-over-year comparison. During the same week in 2025, Raw didn’t even crack Netflix’s rankings — not globally, not in the U.S. Going from unranked to a consistent top-six global placement and top-five U.S. finish represents real progress for WWE’s flagship show on its new streaming home.

Raw’s move to Netflix has been one of the most closely watched storylines in the wrestling business this year, both for what it means financially for WWE and for how it reshapes the way fans discover and consume the product. Landing consistently inside Netflix’s global top ten — competing against the platform’s biggest scripted series, films, and reality programming — is no small feat for a weekly three-hour wrestling show, and the steady rankings suggest WWE has settled into a reliable audience base on the platform rather than seeing early-adopter numbers fade.

It’s worth noting that these Netflix figures measure total viewership hours converted into estimated views, a different methodology than the Nielsen ratings WWE relied on for decades on USA Network. That makes direct comparisons to the old cable era tricky, but the year-over-year framing Netflix itself provides — unranked in 2025 versus a top-six finish in 2026 — is a clean, apples-to-apples signal that the show’s footprint on the service has grown substantially since the deal began.

For WWE, consistency matters just as much as spikes. A show that holds firm at No. 6 globally week after week, rather than swinging wildly, is easier to sell to advertisers and easier to point to as evidence the Netflix partnership is delivering steady value rather than a one-time bump tied to the launch. With SmackDown and premium live events also factoring into how Netflix and WWE evaluate the overall relationship, Raw’s stability gives the company another data point to lean on as it looks toward renewal conversations and continued content expansion down the road.

Whether Raw can climb higher than No. 6 remains the open question, especially as Netflix’s library constantly shifts with new film and series releases competing for the same weekly slots. For now, holding steady with a clear year-over-year gain is a result WWE will happily take.
