Netflix is celebrating one year of tag-teaming with WWE and is dropping some interesting stats.
In a press release issued today the streamer stated:
“It’s been one year (and 52 RAW shows, 12 Premium Live Events and too many body slams to count) since Netflix entered the WWE ring. During WWE’s first year on Netflix, we welcomed dozens of celebrities ringside (see: Bert Kreischer, Macaulay Culkin, Richard Gadd, Tiffany Haddish and many more), said goodbye to a familiar face (don’t forget to write, Cena) and brought back a few old friends into the fray (yes, we can smell what The Rock is cooking). But beyond just smashing chairs and smashing opponents, it’s been a year of smashing records on Netflix. To celebrate WWE’s official one-year anniversary on January 6, 2026, we wanted to look at the league’s incredible reach on Netflix with our members around the world.”
According to Netflix:
- Their members members watched 525M hours of WWE content. Of this total, RAW accounted for nearly 340M views and 185M views for Premium Live Events broadcast outside of the US like SmackDown, WrestleMania, Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, Night of Champions and Royal Rumble.
- The show has made the Global English TV Top 10 nearly every week it’s been on service (47 out of a possible 52 weeks). Over 52 shows, RAW has averaged more than 3M views per week.
- RAW has made the Top 10 in 34 countries, including the US (51 weeks), Bolivia (49 weeks), Canada (48 weeks), the UK (40 weeks) and Mexico (38 weeks).
- Our other WWE events have made the Top 10 in 42 countries, ranking highest in Bolivia, Canada, the UK, Egypt, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Despite not being available in the US, Royal Rumble also made the Global English TV Top 10.
- Since January 6, 2025, WWE posts on Netflix-owned social channels have generated more than 5.8B impressions across roughly 8,000 posts, the top-performing post across all platforms featuring FC Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal reacting to a Randy Orton RKO during live coverage with over 50M impressions on Facebook alone.
- As of January 6, 2026, WWE on Netflix has amassed more than 6.2M followers across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and delivered over 4.4B impressions.
- In WWE’s first year, hundreds of clients ran advertisements throughout the broadcast and over 20 global brands have creatively partnered with Netflix’s WWE RAW, including Snickers, Google, TurboTax, XFinity, DoorDash, EA, Mattel, CashApp and many more.
- They extended their partnership with the WWE by launching WWE 2K25: Netflix Edition on mobile, exclusively for their members.
