WWE Raw on Netflix viewership for April 28 declines from previous week

Viewership for the 4/28 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix was down as expected from the previous show directly after WrestleMania 41 but still ahead of most of the shows leading into WrestleMania.

This would be consistent with usual patterns. The week after WrestleMania is usually big, the week after that remains above average, and the third week ends up at average levels and then starts to hit the lowest non-football numbers of the year as the NBA playoffs deepen.

Netflix listed the show as having 5.8 million hours of viewing and three million global viewers. The April 21st edition was listed at 8.7 million hours of viewing and 3.6 million global viewers.

That means they considered viewing of one hour and 55 minutes as the full show, which was two hours and 34 minutes live and one hour 51 minutes if not watching live. This indicates almost nobody watched live while Netflix has always claimed it’s 80 percent live. Even going with 70 percent live, this would average 2,554,000 homes worldwide and 3,226,000 viewers being very generous on the viewer total.
