Netflix Viewership Numbers for 2025 First & Second Quarter PLE’s Revealed

Netflix has officially dropped the numbers for WWE Premium Live Events streamed internationally from January through June 2025—and it’s clear Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41 dominated the global audience.

According to Wrestlenomics, Royal Rumble pulled in a massive 3 million global views, topping the charts as the most-watched WWE PLE on Netflix during the first half of the year. WrestleMania 41 also delivered in a big way, with Sunday’s show drawing 2.8 million views and Saturday’s show clocking in at 2.4 million views.

Here’s how the rest of the events performed on Netflix internationally:

• Royal Rumble 2025 — 3 million views
• WrestleMania 41 Sunday — 2.8 million views
• WrestleMania 41 Saturday — 2.4 million views
• Elimination Chamber 2025 — 1.9 million views
• Money in the Bank 2025 — 1.6 million views
• Backlash 2025 — 1.5 million views
• Night of Champions 2025 — 1 million views

Wrestlenomics clarified what these numbers actually mean: “‘Global views’ are defined as viewing hours divided by run time. The metric is representation of accounts viewing, not people viewing.” They also added that the data reflects “viewing that happened at any time from January to June 2025,” meaning some shows released later in the window (like Money in the Bank) had less time to rack up views.

These figures only represent the Netflix international audience—U.S. fans still stream all WWE PLEs via Peacock.

With numbers this strong, it’s clear that WWE’s international reach is thriving in its Netflix era. But the question remains—can SummerSlam top these monster viewership figures?
