WWE Show Sees Huge Ratings Spike

Total Divas has been having a bad season. I don’t know if that’s due to the quality of the show–I stopped watching after I realized I could just watch clips of snarky Daniel Bryan online–but it seems it was at least partly due to the show’s time slot.

E! Network moved the reality show back an hour, which gave this episode a 25% ratings boost to nearly the numbers of the season premiere.

In fact, all WWE ratings are up this week, with Raw earning a slight post-Roadblock push and SmackDown seeing a huge spike. That’s an oddity this time of year, as Christmas week is historically WWE’s weakest.

But there’s an ulterior motive to this post. Yes, I brought you all here to show you this adorable Total Divas photoshoot with Lana and Rusev, where they hang out and do the DX pose and everything.

With incredible content like that, how could Total Divas not be killing it in the ratings? Lana and Rusev are the true power couple WWE needs, and they’ll lead the company to new heights of mainstream success with their adorable (half-fake) accents.
