Coinciding with its fourth quarter earnings release on Tuesday, Netflix published its biannual “What We Watched” report. It includes a spreadsheet that breaks down viewing on the streaming platform by title.

This provides a periodic update on viewing data for WWE programs. While Raw has made Netflix’s weekly “Tudum” global top 10 shows most weeks since its debut on Netflix, other WWE content seldom appears in that weekly rankings chart.

The bar chart below displays data for the six-month period from July 1 to December 31, 2025. The lighter-colored bar shows viewing of programming that was released in the first six months of 2025,

As the charts note, keep in mind the viewing window for this data release was any time in the six-month period. Most viewing of new WWE content is almost certainly happening live or within the first few days. Because the window of measurement here ends on December 31, some programs are clearly disadvantaged by not having more time to accumulate viewing.

“Global views” here appears to be the same measurement that Netflix lists in the weekly Tudum rankings, which in Nielsen terms is most similar to the number of households viewing the content on average across the entire duration of the program.

Remember that only Raw and WWE Unreal aired throughout the world on Netflix. All the other WWE content is not available on Netflix in the U.S., but is available on the platform throughout much of the rest of the globe. With their wider global distribution on Netflix, Raw and Unreal episodes are among the most-watched data points here.
