WWE Raw Viewership Falls To Lowest Netflix Rating Yet After 200,000-Viewer Decline (WWE News)
WWE Raw hits lowest Netflix viewership after losing 200,000 viewers for 24 Feb episode.
WWE Raw has dropped to its lowest global viewership since arriving on Netflix.
Per Netflix's Tudum site, Raw's 24 February episode drew 2.6 million worldwide viewers over the seven-day calculation period. This was enough for WWE's flagship show to finish eighth on the weekly top 10 English language shows.
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 viewers. Thus, it is difficult to compare Raw's current numbers to, say, SmackDown on USA Network.
Raw has drawn the following weekly global viewerships on Netflix so far:
6 January: 5.9 million.
13 January: 3.7 million.
20 January: 3 million.
27 January: 2.9 million.
3 February: 3.1 Million.
10 February: 2.8 million.
17 February: 2.8 million.
24 February: 2.6 million.
Tudum's rankings are released every Tuesday, meaning the data for 3 March's post-Elimination Chamber 2025 Raw will be out this time next week. The platform only reports top tens, however. Should Raw drop out of the rankings, information will not be available.
It appeared last week that Raw's Netflix viewership had tapered off after an artificially high start for the heavily-promoted 6 January episode, settling into a range of 2.8-3 million viewers.
Raw's global viewership has now declined by 56% since debuting on Netflix. Some of this is to be expected, given the level of hype behind 6 January, which featured such big names as The Rock and Hulk Hogan, plus CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins.
WWE's deal with Netflix is for a maximum of 10 years, though Netflix is understood to have a five-year get-out option.
