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 27th episode on Netflix streamed live from Providence, Rhode Island on July 7, and featured a Seth Rollins vs. Penta main event and built toward the following weekend’s Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution events. It ranked sixth globally among English-language shows in the seven-day span that ended on July 13.

That’s down a spot from where June 30’s episode finished, despite gaining 100K views over the previous week. Last Monday’s show had 2.6 million views. For comparison sake, Netflix’s most viewed show from July 7-July 13 was again the third season of Squid Game, this time with 15.9 million views.

For live viewers, Raw was generally still facing summer reruns, but did get the season premiere of ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise as competition. Per Programming Insider, that was the highest rated show on television last Monday, doing a .31 with 18-49 year olds from 1.87 million total viewers. Fox News led the overall audience list with Jesse Waters Primetime getting 3.54 million viewers and a .20 rating.

Back to Netflix, was fourth 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 7 episode (plus the July 11 SmackDown where applicable; July 13’s Evolution PLE was eligible for the edition of the rankings, but didn’t place in the Top Ten anywhere we checked) 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: Eighth (down two); SmackDown - Tenth (up at least one)
Canada: Fifth (unchanged); SmackDown - Sixth (unchanged)
India: DNP (down at least two spots)
Mexico: DNP (down at least three)
Saudi Arabia: DNP (unchanged)
United Kingdom: Sixth (up four spots)

If Raw slips out of the global Top 10, it seems like we’ll stop getting any “views” data. We’ll continue to pass along whatever information we do get, and add it to our regular rundown of Raw’s TUDUM-reported performance for each episode of the Netflix Era:
