Netflix: WWE Has “Hit Every Metric We Hoped For" on the U.S. Side
Netflix says WWE’s global reach is expanding as the Aug. 31 Raw missed the Netflix top ten and Aug. 24 drew 2.5 million views.
- The August 31 edition of WWE Raw failed to crack Netflix's weekly global top ten chart, prompting the streaming service to withhold a public viewership figure for the episode.
- Despite the ratings dip, Gabe Spitzer, Netflix Vice President of Global Live Sports and Entertainment, described the partnership as a successful "live sports entertainment deal," stating the company is thrilled with results nearly two years in.
- International expansion continues as Netflix rolls out WWE programming across new markets including Italy and Australia. "They're going back to Australia; they've been to Europe; they're going to Mexico for a big Raw," Spitzer said.
- Netflix is exploring opportunities to cast WWE Superstars in its films and scripted series, initiating meetings between wrestling talent and the streaming giant's production teams to identify potential roles.
- Spitzer specifically praised Seth Rollins, who previously appeared in Netflix's Skyscraper, as an example of potential crossover talent, though no casting decisions were revealed yet.
