New engagement report details international performance across major WWE shows
Summary
– Netflix released global viewing data for WWE content from July to December 2025
– Several Premium Live Events surpassed one million global views
– SmackDown and NXT data reflects WWE’s international Netflix distribution
Netflix has released its latest What We Watched engagement report, offering a clearer look at how WWE programming performed internationally during the second half of 2025.
The report includes viewing data for WWE Premium Live Events, SmackDown, and NXT, all of which stream on Netflix outside the United States. The figures were compiled by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics and track viewing activity from July 1 through December 31, 2025.
Among the Premium Live Events, Wrestlepalooza recorded the highest total with 1.9 million global views. Survivor Series WarGames followed closely at 1.8 million, while SummerSlam’s two-night format drew strong numbers, with Sunday reaching 1.7 million and Saturday posting 1.5 million views. Crown Jewel Perth and Clash in Paris each exceeded 1.3 million, while Evolution 2025 finished with approximately 900,000 views.
Netflix defines global views as total hours watched divided by a program’s runtime, representing the number of accounts that viewed the content rather than individual viewers. All WWE programming included in the report was available internationally, with viewing totals reflecting both live and on-demand consumption.
Netflix also noted that content released later in December had less time to accumulate views, which may have impacted some totals. While WWE Premium Live Events continue to air on ESPN in the United States, Netflix remains the international home for SmackDown and NXT.
WWE’s next Premium Live Event is the Royal Rumble, scheduled to take place from Saudi Arabia on January 31.
