WWE Raw‌ Absent from⁢ netflix Top 10 Amid ‘Stranger Things‘ Surge

WWE Raw was not featured in Netflix‘s global top 10 English-language shows for the week of November 24,‌ marking the first time the wrestling programme has been excluded ‍from​ the ranking since its debut on the streaming platform. The⁣ omission isn’t indicative of declining ⁤viewership,but rather a result of the highly anticipated release of Stranger Things Season 5.

This marks a significant, though likely temporary, ‍shift in ⁣Netflix’s viewing data. The inclusion of WWE ⁤Raw on Netflix ⁣is a key component⁢ of the company’s strategy to broaden its sports entertainment offerings and​ attract a wider audience. While Raw’s absence from ⁤the ​top 10 doesn’t promptly signal trouble, continued exclusion coudl influence future content deals and programming decisions.

The November 24th episode of Raw missed the ⁣rankings as all five seasons of Stranger Things occupied positions within the top 10. Season 5 ⁢garnered nearly⁤ 60 million views, ⁤with the ⁤preceding seasons also experiencing a surge in ⁣viewership as ​fans ‌re-watched⁤ the series. A show needed at least 3.96 million views globally to break into the top 10 ⁢this ⁢week.

For⁤ context,the November 17 episode of Raw achieved 3.1 million ⁤views -⁣ its highest number ⁤in seven months. Due‌ to falling outside the top tier, Netflix has ⁣not publicly released ⁣viewership data for ⁢the November 24 episode.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer clarified the situation, stating, “Because of the debut of ⁣ Stranger Things and its multiple‌ episodes, Raw last Monday 11/24 was not in the top ten among English TV shows for the‍ first time. so‍ no numbers⁤ at all are available nor will they be until likely January for this past week. The No. 10 show did 3,962,000 worldwide views, far more than Raw‍ ever does, so ⁢this is not an ⁤indication at ​all that Raw did a bad number.”

Sources within ⁣AEW confirmed ‌that World⁢ and Hyan were brought in ‍at the last second to replace Alize and newell, who opted not to perform due ‌to⁤ a reduced match time. “The two got a⁣ last-minute match on a recent *Collision* when Miranda Alize and Nixon⁢ Newell opted not ⁣to​ perform, and then ⁢ended up getting an eight-minute match on the next week’s *Collision*.

WWE Legend Steve Austin Opens up​ About Post-Wrestling Life, addiction, and Finding Purpose in Mentorship

In a ⁣candid ‍reflection on his life after retirement from professional wrestling, Steve Austin revealed a pivotal moment of self-assessment that spurred a significant life change. Austin recounted waking up one morning and realizing his ‍lifestyle was unsustainable, stating, “Dude, ‍the things ⁤you’re doing are ‍not⁢ conducive to living a long life. You need to slow your ass down.”

Having previously worked as a forklift driver, Austin didn’t aspire to return to that life after achieving success in ‍wrestling. He made a deliberate decision ⁣to pursue opportunities in the entertainment buisness, relocating to Los ​Angeles. This ‍transition wasn’t immediate, ​as Austin lived ‍with Diamond Dallas Page for approximately a year while “searching for the bottom of​ a lot of bottles,” ⁤but eventually led to involvement in low-budget ‍film projects.

years later, Austin found a renewed connection to WWE ​through hosting ⁤the reality series Tough Enough ‍ on the USA Network, beginning in 2009 or 2011. Initially, he​ admitted being too distraught ‍over his retirement ‍to remain involved⁤ with wrestling, stating, “If I can’t be the main guy, I don’t want to be any guy anywhere around.” However, after time away, he‌ welcomed‌ the opportunity to mentor​ aspiring talent. “I wanted to ⁣help people learn the trade,” Austin explained.

Despite Tough Enough‘s positive ratings,​ it was canceled after one season.Austin afterward hosted Broken Skull Challenge, wich was also later canceled-a decision he still finds perplexing. He ultimately discovered a passion for connecting​ with people ‌through his podcast, enjoying the spontaneous nature of the conversations.
