A sequel to the 2019 hit Knives Out, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, directed by Rian Johson, was released on Netflix on December 23, 2022. Unlike its predecessor, which grossed over $300 million worldwide, Glass Onion was a direct streaming release, but the decision has certainly paid rich dividends for Netflix.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing with Russo, Vince Russo pointed out how despite being a paid platform, 32 million viewers tuned in to Netflix to watch Glass Onion within two days of its release. Russo compared this to WWE RAW, whose ratings fell to 852,000 in the third hour of its last week’s episode.
The wrestling veteran also explained that although RAW is available on free cable TV, unlike a paid platform like Netflix, its ratings are still dismal.

Vince Russo thinks WWE is resting on its laurels
Elsewhere in the video, Vince Russo spoke about how the current roster had nothing to do with WWE’s financial success. He believes that the promotion was generating more revenue than ever because of the work put in by talent in the past.
Russo accused the company of “resting on their laurels” and warned their lack of momentum would surely affect them sooner rather than later.
It remains to be seen how Triple H and co deal with WWE’s dwindling ratings and try to bring them back on track ahead of WrestleMania 39.
