WWE Raw Ratings Report For October 06, 2025: Major Stars, Big Stories, But Viewership Stalls
WWE’s move to Netflix was supposed to revolutionize how fans consume Monday Night Raw — but after several weeks of streaming data, the numbers tell a different story.
According to Netflix’s latest viewership rankings, the October 6, 2025 episode of WWE Raw drew 2.4 million global views and 4.8 million total hours watched, finishing 9th worldwide for the week. While that number looks strong on paper, it represents stagnant growth — up just 100,000 views from the previous week — despite one of the most star-studded lineups of the fall season.
The September 29 episode drew 2.3 million views and ranked 8th globally, meaning that Raw has effectively plateaued heading into the Crown Jewel premium live event.
Star Power Not Helping?
The October 6 episode featured some of WWE’s biggest names — Roman Reigns, CM Punk, LA Knight, Seth Rollins, and Paul Heyman — all featured prominently in the build toward Crown Jewel.
Despite that, Raw failed to gain meaningful traction in either viewership or global ranking. While it’s normal to see dips or stalls between pay-per-view cycles, the concern here is timing: this episode aired just five days before the go-home edition of Raw on October 11 — which typically sees spikes as hype peaks.
Instead, the data points to viewer fatigue and limited growth among casual audiences, even with Reigns’ long-awaited return and Punk’s continued presence.
Top 5 Most Viewed YouTube Clips from Raw (10/6)

While Bloodline-related content remains WWE’s most consistent traffic driver, even these numbers show a slight dip from Raw highlight averages earlier in the year — suggesting diminishing returns from familiar storylines.
What This Means
Internally, sources say WWE is closely monitoring Netflix’s weekly trends. While the company is pleased that Raw continues to place within the Top 10 most-watched shows globally, the lack of growth heading into a major event cycle is raising eyebrows.
The issue isn’t star power — it’s engagement. Viewers are tuning in, but not in increasing numbers. This could be attributed to several factors: pacing issues, repetitive matchups, or simply audience fatigue with long-term story arcs.
Netflix executives are reportedly satisfied with consistency, but WWE’s creative and marketing teams are feeling pressure to “move the needle” — particularly with Crown Jewel and Survivor Series approaching.
Wrestling.News | Backstage Take
WWE’s experiment with Netflix has proven the brand’s global reach, but now comes the hard part — sustaining growth. Having Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins on the same show should’ve driven a bigger spike. Instead, the numbers stayed flat, a sign that the novelty of Raw on Netflix might be wearing off.
The next few weeks are crucial. The October 11 go-home episode for Crown Jewel could determine whether Raw can regain its momentum or if Netflix audiences are quietly checking out.
At some point, consistency stops being a strength — and starts being a warning.
