Netflix released its biannual “What We Watched” report this week, giving fans a transparent take a look at how WWE content performed on the platform throughout the first half of 2026.
The numbers were massive, with WWE programming drawing nearly 149 million global views and greater than 327 million viewing hours across 252 entries, which included premium live events, RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Amongst essentially the most watched episodes, the January 5 and April 20 editions of RAW led the pack with 3.7 million views each, and January 5 also marked RAW’s first anniversary on Netflix.
Since RAW streams globally, it took each the sixteenth and twenty second spots on Netflix’s overall Top 25 list. Other big performers included Royal Rumble 2026, WrestleMania 42 Sunday, and WWE: Unreal Season 2, all landing contained in the Top 25 as well.
Even the July 6 episode featuring CM Punk’s title win pulled in 2.5 million views, marking a six-week high.
With these strong numbers, it is evident WWE’s partnership with Netflix continues to repay in an enormous way.
