How many viewers tuned in for WWE Raw's debut on Netflix? All details analyzed

WWE RAW made its glamourous and illustrious debut on Netflix this past Monday. The show had some banger matches, returning legends along with all the ingredients for the once-in-a-lifetime episode.

WWE RAW on Netflix achieved the highest arena gate in the company's history. However, the show created another form of history too. The company had a very successful start on the platform regarding viewers. The show garnered 4.9m views beating the viewership of any WWE RAW episode in the past five years. It consisted of both live and nonlive views.

The result was calculated by taking the hours of the show watched and dividing it by the runtime. These views don't include the ones of big WWE markets like France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, and South Korea.

Stephanie McMahon took to Twitter to reveal WWE RAW dethroned the famous Squid Game show on the number one spot at the top list of Netflix. The company generated 223m views on social media and became the highest-grossing non-premium live event.

Triple H could do another deal with Netflix after a successful WWE RAW debut

This week's WWE RAW debut on Netflix indicates that the company has made a brilliant move. With one deal sealed with the streaming giant, Chief Content Officer Triple H wants to seal another deal with the company.

Speaking to SI Media, The Chief Content Officer claimed he would also like Netflix to acquire streaming rights for their Premium Live Events. WWE's PLEs are currently with Peacock and the deal expires in 2026. The King of Kings hopes Netflix will acquire that too.

"Call Netflix and push for them when the PLE deal comes up, who confirmed that the deal with Peacock will expire around March 2026. "On the current deal for PLEs, this WrestleMania coming up in Las Vegas will be our last WrestleMania on that existing deal. At some point this year, we will obviously get into that deal with Peacock, who we love, and obviously they'll get a lot of consideration from us as the existing partner. But I think, I'd like to think that if we're successful in the way we think we will be that Netflix will be very interested."

Next week's RAW on Netflix will see some banger matches. We will see the first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion crowned between Dakota Kai and Lyra Vakyria. Chad Gable will face a mystery opponent and Finn Balor will face Damian Priest.
