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. However, chances are selecting “watch from the beginning” would count as views. Regardless, it is always interesting to see what is being watched and it may just encourage you to check something out! So without further adieu, let’s see what is today’s Top 20!

Closing Thoughts
I can’t believe nearly every episode of Swerved from Season 2 is still on the list. That has surprising staying power. WWE Ride Along doing so well is impressive too. Not the new episode, as that’s expected, but the older episodes popping up speaks to the strength of the autoplay feature. People are much more likely to keep the series going when they don’t need to be clicking. The only real surprise here was how low last week’s NXT ranked.
