The following is an excerpt from a subscriber exclusive article available here.

The 6/2 WWE Raw on Netflix — the go-home edition for Money in the Bank — was up from the previous week’s record-low with Netflix claiming 5.0 million viewer hours and 2.7 million global views.

According to Netflix, the May 26th show did 4.8 million viewer hours and 2.6 million global views.

Doing that math, you get that they are now figuring almost nobody is watching the show live, which, of course, is ridiculous.

Using those numbers, with the idea of not being able to figure people who watch twice (a prime issue with streaming vs. Nielsen comparisons which favor streaming numbers having an advantage in an equal playing field) and using Netflix’s internal live vs. delayed viewing numbers (a figure significantly lower than they have said publicly), you get 2,296,000 total views as an average which would be estimated to be 3,132,000 worldwide viewers over the course of the full week.
