The early projections for WWE RAW’s January 6 debut on Netflix are turning heads, with Programming Insider predicting the show will claim the top spot in Monday night’s prime-time TV viewership. If these estimates hold, WWE RAW is expected to surpass 3.65 million viewers, putting it ahead of cable giants like Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime.
For context, Jesse Watters Primetime pulled in 3.684 million viewers, while CBS’ The Neighborhood rerun managed 3.45 million. If WWE RAW beats these numbers, it would solidify its status as a groundbreaking success for both Netflix and WWE, marking an impressive debut for the wrestling juggernaut on the streaming platform.
The official numbers from Netflix are still being finalized, but sources are already expressing optimism about the partnership’s potential. With its electric live atmosphere at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, a sold-out crowd of over 17,000, and The Rock proclaiming it WWE’s highest-grossing arena event ever, WWE RAW’s debut on Netflix is shaping up to be a historic moment for the industry.
If WWE RAW’s Netflix debut really takes the top spot in Monday night viewership, it’s a clear sign that this partnership is off to an epic start. With streaming platforms reshaping how we watch TV, WWE might just be proving that wrestling is ready to dominate the digital era.
