Netflix Bosses Delighted As WWE Raw Viewing Figures Go Public

WWE and Netflix are celebrating.

On January 6, WWE Raw premiered on Netflix to formally kick off the monster new deal between the streaming platform and the sports entertainment giant. The staggering agreement unveiled in January 2024 is worth $500 million per year for the next ten years, with the option to extend for a further decade.

Although in the United States, Premium Live Events have remained on Peacock, SmackDown on the USA Network, and NXT on the CW Network, all WWE content has moved to Netflix in the United Kingdom and beyond.

WWE And Netflix Toast Monday Night Raw Success

As reported by Variety, Raw is averaging around 6.3 million hours viewed per week, which, according to the platform, works out at three million views.

In response, Triple H paid tribute to Netflix and WWE’s fanbase for making the partnership a success.

“Netflix has been amazing, in every sense of the word. They are phenomenal partners, and we can’t say enough about WWE fans. They’ve shown up in full force, as passionate and engaged as ever.”

Vice President of Sports at Netflix, Gabe Spitzer, said the relationship is beyond anything the company could have hoped for.

“It’s everything we could have hoped for and more. We knew going in that we’re not going to change WWE. It was more, how can we add to it in small ways, and that’s what we’ve seen so far.

[WWE’s] distribution has been pretty fragmented up to this point, and the hope was ‘Let’s combine the power of what you guys do with the power of what we do with our global distribution, and get our marketing teams together … and try to lift this.”

Ever since the partnership began, there’s been speculation that WWE Premium Live Events could move to Netflix in the United States when its current deal with Peacock expires in March 2026. And following the success of Raw, that speculation has only grown.

For his part, Spitzer is keeping the door well and truly open.

“For us, it’s still early stages. We want things that are going to create global conversation. And I think with WWE, we already know they have that. … So we’ll continue to have conversations with the leagues that have rights coming up.”

It was recently revealed that Netflix viewers have spent more than 280 million hours watching WWE content in the first half of 2025.
