The October 20 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix brought in 2.6 million global views and 5.1 million global hours viewed according to data released by the streaming provider Tuesday.

The global views are 200,000 more than the previous two weeks (2.4 million) and its highest mark since the September 15 show that also did 2.6 million views. The global hours viewed are also the highest since that same week.

The episode featured the follow-up to the Seth Rollins/Vision angle from the prior week and featured the reveal of what the future of the WWE World Heavyweight title would be — a battle royal to determine who would face CM Punk for the vacant title at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The show was back to its normal start time of 8 PM Eastern. Domestically, it competed against two NFL Monday Night Football games in addition to the MLB ALCS playoff game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners.

Here are Dave Meltzer’s thoughts on the numbers.

Raw Viewership Details:

  • The episode ranked sixth globally and fourth in the United States. It finished in the top ten in 17 countries worldwide which included Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, India, and Saudi Arabia.
  • The listed 1:53 run time was virtually identical to the previous week.
  • Despite the bump, the average for the last ten weeks decreased slightly to 2.5 million global views and 4.95 million global hours viewed.
