What little data we get about the performance of WWE Raw on Netflix is here. It comes from the streamer itself via their Tudum website.
Tudum ranks Netflix’s Top 10 shows by weekly number of views, which it calculates by dividing the time all subscribers spent watching a program by its duration. The default is a global ranking, which is also the only one where Netflix shows its work (e.g. the numbers behind the ranking). You can view the Top 10 for each country Netflix is in, but that only gives you
a ranking, no numbers. Similar ranked lists are available for shows in English, one for shows in all other languages, and corresponding Top 10s for movies.
Raw’s 28th episode on Netflix streamed live from Birmingham, Alabama on July 14, and featured fallout from the previous weekend’s Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution events — including a Gauntlet match won by CM Punk to set-up a World title clash with Gunther at SummerSlam`. It ranked fifth globally among English-language shows in the seven-day span that ended on July 20.
That’s up one spot from where July 7’s episode finished, a rise that goes along with an increase of 100K views over the previous week. Last Monday’s show had 2.7 million views. For comparison sake, Netflix’s most viewed show from July 14-July 20 was again the limited series Untamed, which pulled in 24.6 million views.
For live viewers, Raw had notable competition in MLB’s Home Run Derby. Per Programming Insider, ESPN’s coverage of that more-entertaining-than-usual event (which featured Cody Rhodes awarding a title belt to the winner, Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh) finished first in both overall audience and rating among 18-49 year olds. The Derby had 5.23 million viewers and did a 1.53 rating.
Back to Netflix, was fifth in the U.S. for the week, down one from the previous episode in WWE’s biggest market. With the usual caveat that we don’t check every Netflix market, here’s a rundown of how the July 14 episode (plus the July 18 SmackDown where applicable) ranked in countries where WWE’s placed in the past.
Australia: Raw did not place in the top ten (unchanged from the previous week)
Bolivia: Seventh (up one); SmackDown - Eighth (up two)
Canada: Fifth (unchanged); SmackDown - Sixth (unchanged)
India: Eighth (up at least three spots)
Mexico: Ninth (up at least two)
Saudi Arabia: DNP (unchanged)
United Kingdom: Seventh (down one)
