WWE RAW Returns to Netflix Top 10 After One-Week Absence

The September 7 WWE RAW drew 2.6 million global views on Netflix, finishing seventh among English-language TV shows worldwide and fifth in the United States. The numbers cover the week of September 7 through 13.

Airing live from the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, the episode logged 4.5 million hours viewed. The Netflix version of the show runs one hour and 38 minutes.

Netflix calculates a view by dividing total hours viewed by a show’s runtime, so the 2.6 million figure doesn’t represent unique viewers or the average live audience.

The number marks a 100,000-view increase (roughly 4%) over the August 24 episode, which drew 2.5 million views and 4.4 million hours viewed. That show also finished seventh globally but only seventh in the U.S.

The taped August 31 episode didn’t crack the Top 10 globally or in the United States. Netflix doesn’t publish numbers for shows outside the top ten, so the gap between that episode and the September 7 RAW can’t be measured.

RAW appeared on the Top 10 in 17 countries. The 2.6 million views also topped the 2.48 million average across the nine previous episodes with available data.

The show picked up where Sunday Night’s Main Event left off. The Vision attacked Oba Femi, Otis, and Akira Tozawa, while Bron Breakker and Sol Ruca punched their tickets to the Money in the Bank Ladder Matches.

Bayley returned during the women’s qualifying match, and Liv Morgan retained the Women’s World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer. To close the show, Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price set the Usos’ car on fire.
