WWE Raw Netflix Premiere Generates 5.9 Million Views

The Monday Night Raw premiere on Netflix was viewed 5.9 million times between January 6 and January 12, according to data supplied by the streaming service.

This was enough for Raw to finish at number four for English language shows on Netflix, behind only Missing You, American Primeval, and Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.

For all TV series on Netflix, Monday Night Raw was the seventh-most watched show of the week. Non-English shows in both seasons of Squid Game and The Breakthrough generated more views than WWE Raw.

Netflix defines views as "total view hours for the program divided by the runtime."

Monday Night Raw ranked as a top 10 show on Netflix in 26 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. WWE NXT and Friday Night SmackDown failed to rank in the UK weekly top 10 on Netflix.

Monday Night Raw will air on Netflix for at least the next five years. WWE and Netflix reached a 1o-year deal to broadcast Raw but there is an opt-out in the contract after five years.
