WWE Raw recorded a slight decline in global viewership for its October 5, 2026 episode, even as the show improved its position on the United States television chart. The episode featured a face-off between World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and LA Knight ahead of their anticipated match at WWE Money in the Bank 2026.

According to data from Wrestlenomics sourced from Netflix, the October 5 edition attracted approximately 2.4 million global views over seven days. That marked a decrease from the 2.5 million views recorded for the September 28 episode. The latest show accumulated 4.3 million hours viewed during the same period.

Despite the dip in overall viewership, Raw climbed to seventh place on the global chart, up from eighth the previous week. Its domestic performance also improved, with the show ranking fourth in the United States compared with seventh for the September 28 episode. The programmes listed ahead of Raw in the US were Below, East of Eden and Mojo Brookzz: I Know You Lying.

The episode’s main storylines centred on the upcoming championship matchups. Reigns and Knight opened the show with a confrontation that built anticipation for their scheduled title clash in New Orleans.

The main event featured Liv Morgan taking on Becky Lynch in a number one contender’s match for Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s World Championship. The contest ended in a no-contest after Vaquer intervened, leading the champion to challenge both competitors to a triple-threat match at the premium live event.

The show also featured several tag-team contests. Rey Fenix defeated Ethan Page, while Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh of Judgment Day beat Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee following interference from Big Cass. Judgment Day’s women also secured a victory over Sol Ruca and Lola Vice.

Although Raw experienced a modest week-on-week decline in global views, its improved US ranking suggests the programme remained competitive in the domestic streaming chart. The figures reflect viewing over a seven-day period rather than a traditional live television audience measurement.
