WWE Raw Returns to Netflix Top 10 Despite Viewership Dip

WWE Raw made a comeback to Netflix’s global top 10 list for the week ending January 25th, although its viewership declined from previous numbers. The January 19th episode secured the ninth position, attracting 2.5 million views and totaling 4.6 million hours watched worldwide, confirming its continued yet diminished appeal on the platform.

Comparing Recent Viewership Trends and Regional Performance

This episode’s figures fell short compared to the January 5th show, which celebrated Raw’s one-year anniversary on Netflix and drew 3.2 million views. The January 12th installment did not make the top 10, suggesting lower performance. While exact numbers for that week remain unclear, it appears likely that the January 19th episode surpassed the previous week’s ratings. Raw appeared in the top 10 lists of six countries, including strong positions in the United States (#6), the United Kingdom (#6), Canada (#9), Mexico (#9), Bolivia (#6), and Bahrain (#9).

Other Leading Netflix Series in Weekly Rankings

This week’s global top 10 was topped by the limited series HIS & HERS in its third week, which led with 17.2 million views. The once-dominant Stranger Things has seen a shift, with only its fourth and fifth seasons maintaining a presence on the list. The full lineup of the top 10 English-language shows on Netflix for the week was as follows:

1. HIS & HERS (Week 3): 17.2 million views.

WWE Raw’s Viewership Compared Year Over Year

Looking at overall trends for 2026, WWE Raw is averaging around 2.85 million viewers per episode on Netflix, marking a notable decrease compared to an average of 4.2 million viewers at the same time in 2025. This downward trajectory raises questions about the show’s staying power on the streaming platform amidst stiff competition from other popular series.
