In the first half of 2026, Netflix reported viewership metrics for WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs), excluding the United States. The Royal Rumble led with 3.1 million views, while WrestleMania Night 1 and Night 2 recorded 2.7 million and 3.0 million views, respectively. Expansion into markets such as France, Germany, and Italy increased the number of homes with access to WWE programming by approximately 17%.

By August 2026, engagement continued with the August 3 episode of WWE Raw reaching 2.6 million viewers worldwide. Additionally, the Netflix docuseries ‘WWE: Unreal’ generated discussion among fans; while the general public responded well, some dedicated fans criticized the series for revealing behind-the-scenes industry mechanics. Talent Maxxine Dupri defended the docuseries, describing it as a “humanizing look at the business.”
