WWE Raw Gets 4.9 Million Views in Netflix Debut, Doubles 18-49 Audience

WWE Raw showed some muscle in its Netflix debut on Monday night.

The WWE franchise’s first Netflix outing generated 4.9 million “Live+1” (watched within 24 hours) views globally, WWE reports. (Netflix defines “views” as total view hours for the program divided by the runtime.)

On USA Network, Raw would deliver around 2 million viewers weekly, though that was just among the U.S. audience — so, apples and red dragons.

Raw‘s Netflix debut averaged 2.6 million U.S. households (per VideoAmp), which is 116% higher than the series’ 2024 average and higher than any other Monday Night Raw broadcast in the past five years — though USA Network’s numbers were reported by Nielsen, which tends to be “less generous” than VideoAmp. The event also more than doubled its Adults 18-49 audience versus last year.

Monday night’s Raw took place at a sold-out Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, where it set a record as the highest-grossing WWE arena event of all time.

Among the matches, Rhea Ripley reclaimed the Women’s World Championship with a win over Liv Morgan, Roman Reigns bested Solo Sikoa in a tribal combat match, CM Punk bested Seth “Freakin” Rollins in a grudge match, and Jey Uso took down Drew McIntyre.

The Netflix event also featured appearances from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, The Undertaker, Logan Paul, Travis Scott and John Cena, who officially kicked off his year-long farewell tour.
