WWE expands Netflix partnership and sees Raw return to global top 10

WWE Raw has returned to the Netflix global top 10 following a week where it failed to rank in any region. The September 7 episode recorded 2.6 million viewers over seven days, totaling 4.5 million hours watched. The program ranked fifth in the United States, seventh in Canada, eighth in Mexico, seventh in the United Kingdom, and ninth in India, while reaching the number one spot in Bolivia.

In a broader strategic move, WWE announced it will expand its partnership with Netflix to include the Japanese market starting October 1, 2026. This transition will see WWE programming, including Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, move to Netflix following the conclusion of a three-year deal with ABEMA. WWE executives have noted that the partnership with Netflix has met all performance metrics since the transition began in various international markets.
