The June 1 episode of WWE Raw drew a record-low two million global views on Netflix, down from 2.5 million the previous week. Despite the drop in views, the show generated 6.2 million hours viewed, its highest total since April, largely because the broadcast ran much longer than usual after WWE added the AAA mask vs. mask match between El Grande Americano and Original El Grande Americano. The episode, which featured the start of the King of the Ring tournament and fallout from Clash in Italy, ranked ninth globally on Netflix for the week and reached the top 10 in nine countries, including the United States.
