WWE News: Total Divas viewership for its fall premiere, trouble ahead?

WWE Total Divas produced 1.3 million viewers for E! on Sunday night in its initial airing, according to a press release issued by the network on Monday. Read the full press release at BroadwayWorld.com

Powell's POV: The press release notes that Total Divas "surged past its midseason finale" numbers in key demos. However, the show was powered by a strong lead-in via "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" which scored 2.3 million viewers for E!. The Kardashians episode was the eighth season finale, meaning Total Divas will no longer have the benefit of airing after original Kardashians episodes during the remainder of its own midseason run.
