It was an every other week sort of month for “WWE Raw” in January, at the very least when it got here to their Netflix rating. Twice throughout the month, “Raw” was capable of place in Netlix’s global top ten rankings, only to then fall out every week later, leaving its viewership data a mystery. But after placing sixth for his or her February 2 episode, there was hope that “Raw” might actually place in the highest ten for 2 consecutive weeks, the primary time it will’ve done so since November.
It was a goal they achieved, albeit with some viewership dips to associate with it. Wrestlenomics reports that the February 9 episode of “Raw” placed seventh in Netflix’s global top ten rankings. Though it was down one spot from sixth on February 2, the location meant viewership data was available. The show drew 2.9 million global views over the course of the week, down from 3.1 million views for February 2. Likewise, hours viewed was also down, with February 9 drawing 5.1 million, down from 5.8 million.
Despite the small drops, WWE will likely be thrilled to position in the worldwide rankings for 2 consecutive weeks over again and to position as high as seventh, which trails only the February 2 episode as the very best placement “Raw” has received in those rankings since November. “Raw” similarly placed seventh within the domestic Netflix rankings, though the news was less good there, because it fell two spots from fifth place.
Airing out of Cleveland, Ohio, “Raw” featured a confrontation between AJ Lee and WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, resulting in a match between the 2 being made for Elimination Chamber. “Raw” also saw a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match announced for the Chamber as well, with CM Punk agreeing to defend the title against Finn Balor, in what can be a homefield advantage for Punk because of the PLE happening in Chicago, Illinois.
