As WWE kicked off their first RAW on Netflix in 2026 on January 5, the streaming platform celebrated the partnership by announcing “WWE by the Numbers” on Monday afternoon.
The WWE on Netflix hosted 52 Monday Night RAW shows and 12 premium live events (PLEs outside of the U.S.). Netflix released the following statistics that capture viewing for the WWE RAW product worldwide.
In 2025, our members watched 525M hours of WWE content. Of this total, RAW accounted for nearly 340M views and 185M views for Premium Live Events broadcast outside of the US like SmackDown, WrestleMania, Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, Night of Champions and Royal Rumble.
Since RAW’s official Netflix debut on January 6, 2025, the show has made the Global English TV Top 10 nearly every week it’s been on service (47 out of a possible 52 weeks). Over 52 shows, RAW has averaged more than 3M views per week.
And it’s not just in the US, the birthplace of the WWE. RAW has made the Top 10 in 34 countries, including the US (51 weeks), Bolivia (49 weeks), Canada (48 weeks), the UK (40 weeks) and Mexico (38 weeks).
WWE’s popularity also extends far beyond the RAW franchise. Our other WWE events have made the Top 10 in 42 countries, ranking highest in Bolivia, Canada, the UK, Egypt, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Despite not being available in the US, Royal Rumble also made the Global English TV Top 10.
In the summer, WWE “pulled back the curtain” in a docuseries titled WWE: Unreal, which went behind the scenes on what it takes to produce their events, along with personal confessions from the wrestlers who take real risks even though the moves are choreographed. The docuseries “appeared in the Global Top 10 TV list and also reached the Top 10 in eight countries, including Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the US.” The trailer for season two has been released with the premiere being released on January 20 exclusively on Netflix.
On social media, Netflix also saw a bump in traffic on all of their social media accounts.
“Since January 6, 2025, WWE posts on Netflix-owned social channels have generated more than 5.8B impressions acrossroughly 8,000 posts.
“Our top-performing post across all platforms featuring FC Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal reacting to a Randy Orton RKO during live coverage with over 50M impressions on Facebook alone.
“Social success hasn’t been limited to live coverage. The first season of WWE: Unreal also delivered standout results, including a post featuring IShowSpeed and Triple H that reached 13.5M impressions. Nostalgia-driven content has performed exceptionally well, with an archival John Cena entrance generating 32M impressions on Facebook, and a resurfaced UGC clip originally posted by Randy Orton driving 12M impressions.
“As of January 6, 2026, WWE on Netflix has amassed more than 6.2M followers across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and delivered over 4.4B impressions.
When it comes to media partnerships, if they are successful, companies are happy to share the numbers with the world. This is evident with Netflix, as they seem to be extremely pleased with how their first year of having the WWE on their platform has been a success. Time will tell if Netflix will continue investing in the WWE, as there are still parts of the company’s programming they can acquire.
