Raw Falls to 2.3M Netflix Views; SmackDown Edges Up to 1.16M
Summary: WWE Raw drew 2.3 million global Netflix views for Oct. 26, its lowest since Aug. 31, per Netflix data. SmackDown's Oct. 30 show on USA Network rose to 1,162,000 viewers, per Wrestlenomics.
The quick version
- Raw's Oct. 26 episode drew 2.3 million global views on Netflix in its first seven days, down 200,000 from Oct. 19, per Fightful and Wrestling Headlines, citing Netflix.
- That is Raw's lowest figure since the week of Aug. 31, which did not place in Netflix's top 10, per both outlets.
- SmackDown's Oct. 30 show drew 1,162,000 viewers on USA Network, up from 1,100,000, with a 0.26 rating in adults 18 to 49, per Wrestling Inc, citing Wrestlenomics.
Raw on Netflix
Netflix's weekly rankings show WWE Raw's Oct. 26 episode at 2.3 million global views, down from 2.5 million for Oct. 19, per Fightful and Wrestling Headlines. Netflix counts views over seven days, so this is not a live-night audience. The show ranked seventh worldwide and eighth in the United States, per Fightful.
Wrestling Headlines adds that the episode logged 4.2 million hours viewed over a runtime of 1 hour, 47 minutes. It says that is Raw's lowest hours total since July 20. It also puts the show's previous nine-week averages at 2.58 million views and 4.71 million hours, so both numbers sit below that.
For context, Wrestling Headlines lists 2.5 million views for Oct. 12 and Oct. 19, 2.4 million for Oct. 5, and 3.2 million for Sept. 14, the strongest of that stretch.
One outlet disagrees. TPWW's write-up gave about 2.5 million for Oct. 26, the same as the week before. Fightful, Wrestling Headlines and WrestleZone all give 2.3 million, so we use that.
The Oct. 26 show included Liv Morgan against Becky Lynch for the Women's World Championship, which Lynch won by disqualification, per WWE.com's results. Fightful's list of the show's top YouTube clips also names Bayley's win over Lyra Valkyria in a No Disqualification match.
SmackDown on USA Network
Wrestling Inc, citing Wrestlenomics, reports SmackDown's Oct. 30 episode from Charleston drew 1,162,000 viewers, up from 1,100,000 the week before. That is a gain of 62,000, or 5.6%. The 18 to 49 rating rose from 0.24 to 0.26.
Ringside News gives the same two figures and adds that the show drew 933,000 viewers and a 0.2 rating on Oct. 31, 2025. These figures are for USA Network only. They do not include streaming.
What is next
Netflix's figure for the Nov. 2 Raw should come in its next weekly rankings. The Oct. 26 figure came out on Nov. 3. We did not find viewership for the Nov. 6 SmackDown, taped after the Nov. 2 Raw in Brooklyn.
