The June 1 episode of WWE RAW delivered a mixed performance on Netflix, setting a new low in global views while posting one of its strongest totals in hours viewed.

WWE RAW June 1 Netflix viewership and hours breakdown

The show aired earlier than usual in the United States due to its international location, taking place in Italy one day after Clash in Italy. That scheduling shift appears to have impacted viewership, as the broadcast drew two million global views. This marked a drop of 500,000 compared to the May 25 episode, which reached 2.5 million views.

Despite the decline in views, total watch time increased as reported by Tudum. The episode generated 6.2 million hours viewed globally, an increase of 1.6 million from the previous week. This figure ranks as the eighth highest total in the show’s Netflix history and represents its strongest performance since April 20, which recorded 6.6 million hours viewed.

One contributing factor to the increased watch time was an expanded runtime. While the standard broadcast length was listed at one hour and 47 minutes, the addition of a special match extended the total runtime significantly. The inclusion of the El Grande Americano vs. Original El Grande Americano mask vs. mask match from Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide pushed the full runtime to approximately three hours and 38 minutes after advertisements.

The episode also featured the launch of the King of the Ring tournament and served as the fallout show from the Clash in Italy Premium Live Event, adding to its overall importance in WWE’s weekly programming cycle.

In Netflix’s global rankings for the week, RAW finished tied for ninth place. The show also secured a spot in the top ten across nine different countries, including an eighth-place finish in the United States.

The top-performing content globally for the same week was Michael Jackson: The Verdict, a three-part documentary that led with 17.8 million views and 47 million hours viewed.
