WrestleMania 41 has been told by WWE as the most successful event the company has ever produced, breaking records in a variety of areas, generating more money over a week than it produces over a year. The final summoning port for Easter weekend was an episode of “WWE Raw” on April 21st. This saw the revival of Rusev, an improvised match between Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer.
Given everything that happened with Wrestlemania 41, fans were keen to tune into Netflix on Monday night to see what WWE had raised their sleeves. The April 21 episode of “Raw” attracted an average of 3.6 million global audiences throughout the week. This is a big jump from an average of 2.9 million viewers on the April 14th episode. It was also the first time in a month that “RAW” has managed to break the 3 million mark in its field, and the first time that “RAW” has received the third highest average viewership since moving to Netflix at the beginning of the year.
The show has totaled 8.7 million hours over the week. This was enough for “Raku” to reach third place in Netflix’s weekly rankings for the second week in a row, with a figure of just over 18 million hours, with “Raku” reaching third place in Netflix’s weekly rankings for the second consecutive week. As for global weekly rankings, Raw entered the top five for the first time since March 24th, placing fifth in the week.
