After returning to the global top ten last week for the first time since early-December, the Monday, January 12 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix didn’t make the list according to Tudum.

The tenth-ranked show (Marcello Hernandez: American Boy) finished with 2.5 million global views, setting the benchmark. Stranger Things’ five seasons continued to take up half of the list while the new thriller limited series His & Hers debuted with 29.5 million global views to take the top spot.

Of note, the show aired at 2 pm Eastern in the U.S. as WWE continued their overseas tour and featured a first time ever match between Gunther and AJ Styles.

Since November 17, 2025, Raw has made the global top ten just twice: December 8 and January 5.

On Tuesday, Netflix released their quarterly earnings and stated they had more than 325 million subscribers to close 2025 with $45 billion in sales for the year. That is 25 million more subscribers than they ended 2024 with.

They revealed they will spend $20 billion on programming in 2026 which is a 10% jump from 2025 even as they are attempting to close the much-discussed deal to buy Warner Bros. that will also add costs to their bottom line.

Shares dipped by 2% in after-hours trading to $85.

Earlier on Tuesday, WBD announces that Netflix will be amending their offer to purchase the WB studios, DC, HBO and HBO Max, and other assets to be all cash in a further effort to fend off Paramount Skydance’s efforts to buy the entirety of the company which includes the cable networks.
