Netflix VP Says WWE Has Been ‘Above Our Expectations’ So Far

Netflix is very happy with how their relationship with WWE is turning out, according to Netflix VP of Sports Gabe Spitzer. The two companies have been in business as broadcast partners for almost a year and a half now, with Netflix serving as the worldwide broacast home of WWE Raw and an international home for Smackdown, NXT, and PLEs.

Spitzer spoke about the relationship between the two companies in his appearance on The Main Event Andrew Marchand. He noted that thus far, the partnership has surpassed what Netflix expected of the deal and they’re very happy.

“It’s been great,” Spitzer said (per Fightful). “It’s been above our expectations and I think, like I said, we know that audience is there in the U.S. and I think the win for both us and WWE would be continuing to grow that around the world.”

WWE Raw has averaged 2.833 million views a week since it premiered on the service in January of 2025. In 2026, the show is averaging 2.88 million views, down 15.5% from 3.142 million views at the same time last year.
