WWE Unreal finished its premiere week with 2.3 million global views, according to Netflix.com/tudum. The docu-series finished ninth on the Netflix chart for most viewed weekly shows
Powell’s POV: WWE Unreal was down to the tenth most viewed spot in the listing of the top ten Netflix series coming out of last night’s Raw. As such, it’s unclear whether it will crack the top ten when the next viewership numbers are released next Tuesday.
Probably won’t crack top 10 in its second week. This show is going to be watched mainly by wrestling fans. It’s a little less than what weekly Raw’s have been doing since you have to assume there’s a portion of the Raw watching audience that won’t watch Unreal. I know Triple H says on the show the goal is for non fans to find Unreal, give it a watch, and then be intrigued to tune into Raw and Smackdown, but I really don’t see that happening. Most non fans will see it’s WWE and will pass thinking it’s just another wrestling show.
But then again what the hell do I know?
