WWE’s massive Monday Night RAW debut on Netflix is already making waves, landing in the Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. the very next day.

The January 6 broadcast from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles wasn’t just a historic night for WWE—it’s now one of the most-watched programs on Netflix for today.

The ranking, part of Netflix’s daily top charts, reflects the immediate success of WWE’s new partnership with the streaming giant. Netflix calculates its Top 10 by tracking viewing hours per title, factoring in how many users streamed the show and for how long. This is different from traditional TV ratings, as Nielsen doesn’t provide numbers for Netflix shows.

While we don’t yet have exact figures for RAW’s viewership, it’s expected that either WWE or Netflix will release an official statement touting a milestone number in the coming days.

The event itself was star-studded, with appearances from The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, and numerous celebrities packing the Intuit Dome. The sold-out crowd of over 17,000 fans witnessed The Rock’s declaration that the show broke WWE’s all-time arena revenue record, with estimates suggesting the gate exceeded $3 million.

With WWE stepping into the streaming era, landing in Netflix’s Top 10 is a significant milestone. Fans will be eagerly awaiting more data from WWE or Netflix about just how big of a hit this debut turned out to be.
