WWE Raw ranked seventh on Netflix’s global list of English-language TV shows last week. According to Netflix’s Tudum Top 10 for the week of September 7 to 13, the episode of Raw that aired on September 7 garnered 2.6 million views and 4.5 million hours of viewing, with a total runtime of one hour and 38 minutes.
Here is the full list of the top 10 global English-language TV shows for that week:
- The Gentlemen: Season 2 – 9.9 million views, 73.4 million hours
- Death of the Pastor’s Wife: Season 1 – 6 million views, 13.7 million hours
- The Gentlemen: Season 1 – 5.5 million views, 36.5 million hours

- Outer Banks: Season 5 – 2 million views, 17 million hours
Unlike cable networks that report ratings, Netflix measures viewership by dividing the total hours watched by a show’s runtime, a system introduced in 2023 replacing its prior hours-only reporting. Netflix also notes that some shows are not available in every region, and their charts only cover certain countries and territories.
This data was highlighted after Gabe Spitzer, Netflix’s Vice President of Global Live Sports and Entertainment, mentioned on the Sports Media podcast with Richard Deitsch that the WWE partnership “hit every metric we hoped for on the U.S. side” and that expanding internationally is the next step. Raw began streaming on Netflix in January 2025 through a 10-year deal worth over $5 billion, as disclosed to the SEC by TKO.
Fan Take:
This milestone shows that WWE Raw is successfully reaching a broad, global audience through Netflix’s platform, potentially attracting new fans worldwide. For fighting enthusiasts, this could mean increased exposure and growth for the sport, boosting live events and talent opportunities across markets.
