WWE and Netflix have teamed up in a major way, changing how fans across the world watch their favourite wrestling shows. Since January 6, 2025, Monday Night Raw has been streaming on Netflix globally, giving millions of people easier access to WWE action.
While American viewers still catch premium live events (PLEs) on Peacock and ESPN, Netflix has become the go-to platform for international audiences. And the viewership numbers from the second half of 2025 have revealed some very interesting trends.
Which WWE Event Got the Most Views on Netflix?
From July to December 2025, several big WWE events were released on Netflix. Wrestlenomics, a respected source for wrestling data, collected the viewership stats for this period. Here’s how the major PLEs performed internationally on Netflix:
- Wrestlepalooza (Sep 20) – 1.9 million views
- Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 (Nov 29) – 1.8 million views
- SummerSlam 2025 – Sunday (Aug 3) – 1.7 million views
- SummerSlam 2025 – Saturday (Aug 2) – 1.5 million views
- Crown Jewel Perth (Oct 11) – 1.4 million views
- Clash in Paris (Aug 31) – 1.3 million views
- Evolution 2025 (Jul 13) – 900,000 views
The top performer was Wrestlepalooza, which drew 1.9 million views. A big reason for its success was the surprise return of wrestling stars like AJ Lee and Brock Lesnar, which created a lot of buzz online.
At the lower end was Evolution 2025, with fewer than a million views. But it’s worth noting that some events aired later in the year, giving them less time to gather views.
Earlier data also showed that the Royal Rumble in February pulled in a massive 3.2 million views, making it the most-watched PLE of the year so far. And Raw’s Netflix debut on Jan 6 hit an incredible 7.1 million views, showing the strong global interest in the product.
How Netflix Measures WWE Viewership
Netflix tracks WWE event views based on “viewing hours divided by runtime.” That means it’s measuring how many complete hours of a show were watched compared to how long the show actually was. The data also reflects accounts that viewed the content—not individual people.
Importantly, the stats only cover international views. People watching in the US through Peacock and ESPN aren’t included in these numbers.
What This Means for WWE and Netflix
This partnership has already proven to be a big success for both sides. In the past, Raw often struggled to reach 1.5 million viewers on cable in the US. But since moving to Netflix, the show has consistently crossed the 2 million mark—even the least-viewed episode on December 29 had 2.2 million views. That’s a big jump and shows how Netflix’s wide global reach is helping WWE grow its audience.
The deal between WWE and Netflix is set for 10 years, but Netflix does have the option to cancel it after 5. However, with the kind of results they’re seeing, both sides are likely happy for now.
