Closing Thoughts
Well, the UpUpDownDown experiment seems to be off to a solid start, with three episodes making the Top 20 this week. Likely that more episodes were on earlier in the week prior to the busy uploads as well. Meanwhile, CWC takes a bit of a hit compared to last week’s episode, although it still is doing well. People are clearly getting hyped for NXT, making it the most viewed.
