WWEs Netflix debut continues to make headlines, and Stephanie McMahon isnt holding back her excitement. The former WWE co-CEO took to Twitter on January 8 to share monumental news: Monday Night RAW has officially overtaken Squid Game in Netflixs coveted Top 10 list in America.
Quoting a Forbes article titled Squid Game Dethroned In Netflixs Top 10 List By A New Show, Stephanie wrote, If you thought Squid Game season 2 was going to stay on top of Netflixs top 10 list, youd be wrong. In America, it has been unseated at #1 by @WWE Monday Night RAW. She also tagged Triple H in the celebratory tweet.
This announcement cements WWEs historic Netflix debut as a game-changer in the streaming world. With the January 6 episode of RAW drawing widespread attention thanks to a sold-out crowd of over 17,000 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and appearances by The Rock and other major stars, its no surprise the show is topping charts. Programming Insiders early projections estimated RAW would surpass 3.65 million viewers, and this latest news seems to confirm that WWE has taken streaming by storm.
The dethroning of Squid Game is no small feat. As one of Netflixs most iconic global hits, Squid Game had a stronghold on the platforms rankings. But WWEs move to Netflix is proving to be a massive success, delivering record-breaking numbers and reshaping how wrestling is consumed in the digital age.
With Stephanie McMahon leading the celebration, the question now is: How long can WWE RAW hold its place at the top of Netflixs charts? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
