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.”

Bella attempted⁣ to perch ⁢Vaquer on the top ​rope, but Vaquer countered, only ‌to be met with‍ a slam. Vaquer​ then attempted the ⁣Devil’s Kiss, but Bella rolled to the ring apron and under the‍ ropes.

The⁤ two competitors exchanged ⁣strikes on their ‍knees in‍ the ring’s center before Vaquer‌ regained the ⁣upper hand with a headbutt and‌ clothesline.​ A snap suplex and subsequent pinfall⁣ attempt yielded a two-count for Vaquer.
