WWE Raw’s Netflix Journey: Viewership Shifts and Dramatic Storylines Mark September 2025

Netflix Viewership Trends

WWE Raw had been experiencing a strong performance throughout August 2025 on Netflix, with viewership reaching impressive numbers. The show kicked off August with 3 million total views and maintained around 2.8 million views for several weeks.

However, the momentum has shifted as September began, with the show experiencing a decline in viewership. The September 1 edition of Raw recorded 2.4 million views over the week, marking its lowest viewership since joining Netflix in January.

Rankings and Performance Metrics

Despite the viewership challenges, there are some positive indicators. The show accumulated 5.2 million hours viewed, an increase from the previous week’s 5.0 million hours. While globally Raw dropped to 8th place, it has maintained a steady 5th place position in domestic rankings for three consecutive weeks.

Current Storylines and Drama

The show continues to deliver compelling content, with recent episodes featuring significant developments including Jey Uso’s shocking confrontation with LA Knight, and dramatic appearances by Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Stephanie Vaquer.

The program has also generated buzz with AJ Lee’s return, setting up an anticipated tag team match featuring CM Punk and AJ Lee against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event. The return has particularly impressed viewers, with Becky Lynch receiving praise for her in-ring reaction to Lee’s comeback.

Broadcasting Evolution

WWE continues to expand its reach through multiple platforms, with content now available across ESPN, Peacock, Netflix, USA Network, and CW Network, among others. This multi-platform approach demonstrates WWE’s commitment to reaching viewers through various streaming and traditional broadcast channels.
