Every so often the WWE Network updates their “Most Popular” recommendations. While the exact science to this section isn’t completely known, we do know that it seems as though the live stream doesn’t directly impact it.

Closing Thoughts
So with more slow weeks, this list isn’t surprising. NXT and the Edge and Christian Show continue to dominate while recent PPVs and Wrestlemania events of the past fill up the majority of the remaining spots. I would really be interested in seeing how these lists would look with more regular original content, but we have what we have.
