On Thursday morning, Netflix officially unveiled the viewing data for WWE’s Premium Live Events and its weekly programming from July to December 2025, which breaks down essentially the most watched events on the platform. It is vital to notice that almost all WWE viewing either happens live or throughout the first few days of release, but some programs have a drawback with Netflix halting its measurement of the information on December 31. All WWE content on Netflix is tracked by “Global views,” which is calculated by dividing total hours viewed to offer an estimate of total viewership.
Moreover, only “WWE Raw” and “WWE Unreal” is out there on Netflix within the U.S., meaning the information provided for the corporate’s PLE’s for the second half of the 12 months is represented by international numbers. Topping the charts was Wrestlepalooza, which garnered 1.9 million views for a card that featured John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar, and AJ Lee’s first match in 10 years. Also near the highest of the charts was Survivor Series: WarGames, bringing in 1.8 million views, and SummerSlam, which averaged 1.6 million viewers across two nights. The least watched PLE over the past six months was Evolution, WWE’s all-women exclusive event, which was considered one of the promotion’s most well-received shows of the 12 months.
Over the whole lot of 2025, the Royal Rumble was essentially the most watched WWE PLE, pulling in 3.2 million viewers, while WrestleMania 42 finished in second, averaging 2.7 million viewers for the two-night event. Outside of the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, no other WWE PLE posted above 2 million viewers on Netflix.
Netflix reveals data for Raw, SmackDown and NXT.
When it got here to WWE’s weekly programming, “WWE Raw” finished with the most effective numbers out of all three shows with it being the one brand to be featured on Netflix within the U.S, while “WWE SmackDown” and “WWE NXT” can be found internationally, but on the USA Network and The CW in America.
Over the past six months, essentially the most viewed episode of “Raw” was the November 17 edition of the show, which featured Cena’s final match on the red brand. From July 7 to August 25, “Raw” eclipsed the three million viewer mark every week, before falling below that threshold for many of September and October. Probably the most viewed edition of “Raw” throughout all of last 12 months stays the debut episode on Netflix that aired on January 6, 2025, which garnered a whopping 7.1 million viewers.
“SmackDown” averaged roughly 1.3 million viewers for the second half of last 12 months on the USA Network, but often fell beneath the 1 million viewer mark internationally on Netflix. Out of the 26 episodes that aired on the platform from the start of July, 17 of them finished with lower than 1 million viewers. Probably the most watched episode of “SmackDown” over the past six months was on September 5, when AJ Lee returned to WWE. The episode was also essentially the most viewed installment of “SmackDown” last 12 months.
Finally, most of “NXT’s” PLE’s and weekly television averaged 200,000 viewers on Netflix internationally since July. “NXT Homecoming” was essentially the most watched episode for the developmental brand, with the TV special drawing 300,000 viewers on September 16, which showcased several major roster stars. “NXT Recent 12 months’s Evil” obtained essentially the most viewership for the show in 2025, which featured an appearance from The Rock and Oba Femi winning the NXT Championship.
