TV VIEWERSHIP

WWE Raw on Netflix
Monday, February 17, 2025
2,800,000 global views

Data from Netflix.

Global views are defined as hours watched divided by program duration for the entire week, Monday through Sunday.

Raw ranked #10 globally and #5 in the U.S.

See our report from earlier this month with Netflix’s explanation about how this data for Raw is caculated: Netflix clarification on how Raw viewership is calculated

Below we attempt an estimate of U.S. total viewership (P2+), live+same-day on Netflix so we can compare it to historical USA Network viewership of Raw during the same part of recent years. We provide two estimates, with the simple assumption that VideoAmp is 8% more generous than Nielsen (as it was for the Golden Globes on CBS). These estimates are calculated based on Netflix’s disclosures about the premier episode and the given episode’s global views.

Estimate = Global views ÷ 5.9M * 2.6M 1.37 ( 0.90)

5.9M = global views for premiere
2.6M = accounts U.S. live+same-day for premiere according to VideoAmp
Assume Nielsen would measure 92% of VideoAmp measurement
Assume 1.37 viewers per household (consistent with prior year averages)
