– Alberto El Patron has fired some new shots at WWE, this time over Total Divas’ ratings. Patron took to Twitter over the weekend to claim that the E! reality show’s recent ratings slips are due to Paige’s scenes not being included on the show. He then posted a couple of tweets addressing “marks” for claiming that he’s “ruining” Paige, as you can see below.

To put El Patron’s comments about the show’s ratings in context, the last three episodes have seen steady drops from a 0.32 demo rating and 669,000 viewers for its April 6th midseason return to a 0.25 and 566,000 last week. However, this is normal toward the end of the series’ seasons — and in fact normal for television shows that operate on a seasonal format in general. The last three episodes, while down, still rank above the second episode as well as the fourth and fifth episodes; the fourth episode had a storyline featuring Paige as did the April 19th episode, which was of course among the recent falling episodes. That’s not to say Paige is responsible for the lower ratings of course, but there certainly doesn’t seem to be any correlation between a lack of her and a lack of viewers.
