WWE Raw viewership stabilizes on Netflix amid rising star Penta

WWE’s transition to Netflix for Monday Night Raw has seen a stabilization of viewership following a massive January 2025 debut. While the premiere drew upwards of 7.2 million views, subsequent episodes have averaged between 2.5 and 3 million views. Despite a slight decline in weekly averages through 2026, the program has remained a consistent fixture in Netflix’s Global Top 10 English TV rankings.

In recent live programming, a high-profile match in Mexico City between World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Penta El Zero Miedo has significantly impacted the roster's landscape. Although Reigns retained his title, the match received widespread acclaim from both fans and WWE management. Reports indicate that Penta has established himself as a legitimate main-eventer, with the company considering a rematch for a future Premium Live Event.

Simultaneously, Netflix has implemented various content modifications to Raw broadcasts. These include censoring profanity, blood, and specific crowd interactions to align with the platform’s standards, such as removing footage of an offensive gesture from a fan during Roman Reigns’ entrance.
