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
Once again, the list wasn’t updated in time to reflect the Wednesday uploads. As a result, the most recent NXT and Table For 3 are not available. It could simply be laziness, or for the conspiracy theorists out there, perhaps WWE prefer people not looking too closely at the most popular programs?
I doubt that is the case, but nonetheless, it should be amusing enough to see people react accordingly. As for this list, it is pretty much what you’d expect. Edge and Christian Show, NXT, etc. dominate with a look at past editions of the upcoming PPV due to them playing excessively. Still, it shows how popular original content is as it always does well. Oh, and a reminder, Camp WWE is being left off due to the adult nature of the program, but if the previews are doing so well, it is likely that the actual program is doing quite well.
So what do you think of the list? Anything on it you have watched lately? Any surprises? Anything you think you might check out? Let us know in the comments!
