Deadline is reporting that last week’s premiere episode of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix drew nearly 6,000,000 viewers.

The report states, “Notably, the Netflix debut of WWE’s Monday Night Raw drew 5.9M views, which was good enough for fourth place. Last week, the streamer said that the event saw 2.6M households tune in same-day, per data from VideoAmp, but it’s not possible to compare that to Netflix’s internal data. It’s also difficult to compare this to Raw‘s performance on USA Network, since any viewership data on that front came from Nielsen. The best way to get a pulse on any sort of success at this point will be to watch how Raw continues to perform on Netflix week-over-week.”

The January 11th replay of WWE NXT: New Year’s Evil that aired on The CW Network brought in 297,000 viewers, with a 0.04 in the 18-49 demo.

The live airing on Tuesday brought in 957,000 viewers.

This means the show was watched by 1,254,000 viewers over the course of the two airings.

And finally, WWE NXT World Champion Oba Femi is working to bring back the “big man style” to wrestling.

While appearing on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Femi commented on attempting to bring back the traditional power move set of bigger stars. He said,

“100%. We got into the era where…a couple of years ago, there was this phase where, to be a good worker you have to be athletic, doing flips, being a high flier. I have nothing against high fliers, I love watching Rey Mysterio, Axiom, and all those guys. I love it. Because of that point, a lot of guys were high flying, and it became oversaturated, and the art of being a man was lost.”

He continued, “When you wrestled a grounded style, it was assumed you couldn’t work just because you couldn’t dive off the top rope. Part of my job right now is to show that, no, this grounded style, there is still value in it and emotion that can be shown, and aggression. It is my job to bring that back. I, personally, am not a flipper. I can, but it would take a very special occasion to pull something like that off.”
