Netflix released its biannual \u201cWhat We Watched\u201d report this week, giving fans a transparent take a look at how WWE content performed on the platform throughout the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s first anniversary on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Since RAW streams globally, it took each the sixteenth and twenty second spots on Netflix\u2019s overall Top 25 list. Other big performers included Royal Rumble 2026, WrestleMania 42 Sunday, and WWE: Unreal<\/em> Season 2, all landing contained in the Top 25 as well.<\/p>\n

Even the July 6 episode featuring CM Punk\u2019s title win pulled in 2.5 million views, marking a six-week high.<\/p>\n

With these strong numbers, it is evident WWE\u2019s partnership with Netflix continues to repay in an enormous way.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to check some additional WWE pay-per-view numbers on Netflix from markets outside the US below:<\/p>\n

* WrestleMania 42: Saturday<\/strong> \u2013 2.7 million views<\/p>\n

* WWE Backlash<\/strong> \u2013 1.4 million views<\/p>\n

* WWE Clash In Italy:<\/strong> 1.6 million views<\/p>\n

* WWE Elimination Chamber:<\/strong> 1.9 million views<\/p>\n

* WWE Night of Champions:<\/strong> 1 million views<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
