"Total Bellas" Suffers Big Drop In Viewership From Last Season's Premiere

Sunday's season three premiere of WWE's Total Bellas on E! drew 517,000 viewers and ranked #24 for the night on cable in the 18-49 demographic.

This is down 23% from the season two finale, which drew 674,000 viewers and ranked #17 for that night on cable. It was also down 24% from the 681,000 viewers garnered for the season two premiere. It looks like the hype surrounding the breakup of John Cena and Nikki Bella did not earn any extra viewers.

The NBA Playoffs topped the night on cable with more than 9 million viewers across two airings.
