WWE’s first year on Netflix appears to have been a raging success, according to the viewing figures.
The company started their deal with the streaming service in January 2025 in a deal worth £4 billion over 10 years.
Variety reports that Netflix have revealed their subscribers watched over 525 million hours of WWE content in 2025.
RAW alone pulled in 340 million views, while premium live events broadcast on Netflix outside the US like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble, as well as the weekly show SmackDown, accounted for 185 million views.
Quick match: 340 million views – as they put it – divided by 52 is about 6.5m people watching RAW on a weekly basis. A good show would have yielded 2m before the move.
It’s not clear if Netlix means 340 hours watched or specific views. If it’s the former, it still averages out at just over 2.1 million and that would be the company’s best annual average in years.
Speaking a few months into the deal last year, Triple H assured fans that Netflix would have no say in the actual content on the show.
“We create the superstars, we create the storylines. We do all of that and the world watches,” Triple H said.
Netflix only decides “how long the show is, when we go off air, or what time we’re on air, just like other live events.
“As far as the content of the shows… someone doesn’t tell the NFL how football’s played. They distribute our product.”
WWE is currently in the midst of their European tour as they kick of the Road to WrestleMania.
