WWE RAW’s Move to Netflix Raises Uncertainty Over Nielsen Ratings

WWE Raw’s big move from USA Network to Netflix on January 6, 2025, has left fans wondering—will Nielsen ratings still track the show’s performance? The answer isn’t clear yet, but a recent development may offer a clue.

According to The Athletic, Netflix has partnered with Nielsen to track viewership for its two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day. This move suggests the streaming giant might be open to using Nielsen for other live programming, including WWE Raw. However, no official announcement has been made regarding whether the Monday night wrestling staple will follow suit.

Netflix recently shared internal viewership data for the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event, showing they’re not entirely closed off to releasing numbers. Still, without confirmation about WWE Raw, fans and industry insiders remain in the dark.

As WWE gears up for this groundbreaking move, all eyes are on how Netflix will handle the show’s ratings. Will Nielsen get the call, or will Netflix keep the numbers in-house? Either way, WWE Raw’s debut on January 6 promises to be one for the history books, and fans can’t wait to see what this new chapter brings.
