The 5/12 episode of WWE Raw drew the second-lowest viewership since the show moved to Netflix and looks to be the second time the show has done less than one million viewers in the U.S.

Netflix listed the show as doing 5.1 million viewing hours and 2.7 million global viewers.  

Based on using the same method they used in the first month, that would be 2,233,000 worldwide views and 3,059,000 estimated global viewers.

Based on those numbers, Raw would have approximately 1,156,000 viewers over the seven day week and about 983,000 same day, which would be the closest equivalent of the Nielsen ratings for the show. 

There are still discrepancies as for Nielsen, a viewer can only be counted once watching a show where these Netflix numbers allow someone watching the second a second time to be counted again.

The number would be down 41 percent from the total Nielsen viewer number Raw did on USA this same week last year.
