WWE Raw recorded 2.5 million global views on Netflix for its September 21 episode, marking a decline from the previous week while still maintaining a prominent position among the platform's most-watched programming.
The weekly WWE broadcast ranked sixth globally on Netflix during its tracking period and finished fourth among programming viewed in the United States. The figures place Raw firmly in Netflix's upper tier internationally, even as the episode did not match the 3.1 million global views generated by the September 14 edition.
On September 14, Raw ranked seventh on the global chart and fifth in the United States. The September 21 episode therefore moved up one spot in both the worldwide and U.S. rankings despite the lower total viewership number. The comparison illustrates how chart placement can shift from week to week based not only on a show's audience but also on the performance of other titles available on the service.
Raw's September 21 Netflix Performance
The September 21 episode's 2.5 million global views represents a decrease of 600,000 views from the 3.1 million recorded for September 14. That is a week-to-week drop of roughly 19 percent, based on the published totals.

Netflix's view metric provides a global snapshot of Raw's reach on the streaming platform. It is particularly useful for WWE because Raw is presented to an international audience through Netflix, making its weekly standing more than a domestic television measurement. The worldwide total captures the program's ability to draw viewers across multiple markets rather than focusing solely on one country.
At the same time, a single week's movement does not establish a long-term direction on its own. Weekly entertainment consumption is affected by a range of factors, including the programming available on a given week, the timing of viewing, and the broader competition for attention on the service. What is clear from the latest rankings is that Raw remained a top-six title worldwide and a top-four title in the United States.
The contrast between view count and placement is notable. Raw drew more views on September 14, but it placed seventh globally and fifth in the U.S. That changed on September 21, when the lower view total still produced a sixth-place worldwide finish and fourth-place position in the United States. The result underscores the importance of examining both audience totals and chart rank when assessing a streaming program's performance.
Week-To-Week Comparison
- September 21 WWE Raw: 2.5 million global views; sixth globally; fourth in the United States.
- September 14 WWE Raw: 3.1 million global views; seventh globally; fifth in the United States.
The available figures show a mixed week-over-week picture. The global audience total moved downward, while Raw's relative position improved in both of the listed rankings. For WWE, that combination means the September 21 broadcast continued to perform strongly in the streaming environment despite the numerical decrease from the prior episode.
Raw's U.S. result is also significant because the show improved from fifth to fourth among Netflix programming in the country. A top-four finish indicates that Raw remained one of the service's more visible offerings in its largest single market, while the sixth-place global placement demonstrates continued international reach.
WWE's Netflix era has placed additional attention on global audience reporting. Unlike traditional weekly wrestling viewership discussions, which often centered heavily on a U.S.-based television audience, Netflix performance places worldwide consumption and platform rankings at the forefront. Raw's 2.5 million-view result is therefore best understood in the context of both its worldwide standing and its continued presence near the top of the U.S. chart.
YouTube Highlights Continue To Draw Attention
Beyond the Netflix figures, WWE's Raw-related clips continued to generate significant interest on YouTube. The five most-viewed Raw videos listed for the period feature major names and story developments involving The Bloodline, The Vision, Oba Femi, Je'Von Evans, LA Knight, Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker.
The most-watched video was centered on Solo Sikoa waving the white flag to The Bloodline, which reached 1.6 million views. The clip's performance put it ahead of the second-ranked video, in which Oba Femi hurled Je'Von Evans onto The Vision. That video accumulated 1.5 million views.
The remaining three videos also showed the broad range of acts drawing digital engagement around Raw. A video involving Royce Keys and company abducting Solo Sikoa recorded 857,000 views. LA Knight's vow to defeat World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns reached 738,000 views. A Paul Heyman segment directed at Bron Breakker, built around the statement that “Oba Femi is still breathing,” received 681,000 views.
Five Most-Viewed WWE Raw Videos
- Solo Sikoa waves the white flag to The Bloodline — 1.6 million views.
- Oba Femi hurls Je'Von Evans onto The Vision — 1.5 million views.
- Royce Keys and company abduct Solo Sikoa — 857,000 views.
- LA Knight vows to defeat World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns — 738,000 views.
- Paul Heyman to Bron Breakker: “Oba Femi is still breathing” — 681,000 views.
The leading two clips both cleared 1.5 million views, indicating especially strong online interest in their respective angles. Solo Sikoa's involvement appears twice among the five most-viewed videos, with one clip focused on his situation with The Bloodline and another involving Royce Keys and company. Oba Femi likewise features prominently in two of the top five videos, including the second-ranked clip with Je'Von Evans and the Paul Heyman/Bron Breakker segment.
The digital list also reflects the continued visibility of Roman Reigns in WWE's top-level storytelling. LA Knight's video was driven by his stated intention to defeat the World Heavyweight Champion, while the clip's 738,000 views placed it among Raw's most-consumed individual pieces of video content.
What The Numbers Show
The September 21 Raw data presents two related but distinct measures of audience activity. Netflix's 2.5 million global views provide the clearest available indicator of the full episode's streaming reach, while the YouTube totals show which specific moments and personalities generated additional interest in shorter-form viewing.
Those measurements should not be treated as identical. A global view of the complete Raw episode and a view of an individual YouTube highlight represent different forms of viewing behavior. However, together they show that WWE programming maintained a substantial audience across its major digital distribution channels during the period.
For the full episode, Raw remained a high-ranking Netflix title in both the global and U.S. listings. For clips, storylines involving Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline, Oba Femi's physical confrontation with Je'Von Evans, and developments featuring LA Knight, Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker were among the week's strongest performers.
The decline from 3.1 million to 2.5 million global views will be the central numerical point in the latest Raw report. Still, the accompanying rise in chart position offers important context. Raw was not only present on Netflix's global list; it improved from seventh to sixth worldwide. In the United States, it advanced from fifth to fourth.
WWE Raw's next set of Netflix data will determine whether the September 21 result becomes part of a sustained downward movement in total views or simply a normal weekly fluctuation. For now, the program's latest performance shows 2.5 million global views, a sixth-place worldwide ranking, a fourth-place U.S. finish, and continued online interest in several of WWE's most prominent ongoing stories.
