In the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer is reporting that officials within WWE are unhappy with the drop in viewership of the new Mixed Match Challenge Series on Facebook Watch. It’s been said that “key people” within the company have already begun to sour on the tournament.
Meltzer says, ” Mixed Match Challenge dropped greatly in viewership. Even before this week’s numbers came in, we had heard they were very unhappy about the huge drop from week one to week two, and key people were already souring on it. The second show was really bad. This week’s show felt like a harmless gimmick show, but there feels like no important reason to watch.”
Here are the numbers so far for the Mixed Match Challenge:
Episode 1: 135,600
Episode 2: 91,900
Episode 3: 62,400
With the shows viewership steadily trending downward, it will be interesting to see if WWE makes any changes in the show to help boost ratings and garner more viewers.
