WWE Raw Equals 2nd Lowest Audience On Netflix As Viewership Flatlines (WWE News)
WWE Raw draws its second-lowest total viewership on Netflix for the second straight week.
For the second straight week, WWE Raw has drawn its second-lowest worldwide viewership figure since its debut on Netflix on 6 January.
Per Netflix's Tudum site, the 19 May episode of Raw drew 2.7 million global viewers during the seven-day calculation window (19-25 May). This meant the show finished 9th in the weekly Top 10 ranking of English-language television shows. Sirens topped the chart with 16.7 million viewers, followed by last week's leader, American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden, Season 1, with 10.7 million viewers.
Raw's total audience was identical to last week's 2.7 million. The total hours watched, however, declined from 5.1 million to 5 million, likely owing to the shorter runtime (Netflix currently lists 12 May at 109 minutes and 19 May at 100).
WWE's low point on the platform remains 2.6 million global viewers for the 24 February episode of Raw. The red brand debuted on the platform with 5.9 million global viewers on 6 January.
Tudum differs from traditional Nielsen ratings in that it considers global viewership over a full week. Nielsen is narrower, counting only live and same-day audiences in the United States. Thus, it is difficult to compare Raw's current numbers to, say, SmackDown on USA Network.
Tudum's rankings are published every Tuesday, meaning data for this week's Raw (26 May) will be out next week. The platform only reports the top tens. Should Raw drop out of the ranking, its viewership information will not be available.
The 19 May Raw was headlined by World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker in a non-title match.
