WWE Smackdown Rating Slips Downward, Viewership Hits Post-Draft High

– It was another day of WWE losing ratings points and gaining overall viewers. Tuesday’s episode of Smackdown brought in a 0.91 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 2.834 million viewers, down 7% from last week’s 0.98 demo rating but up 4% from last week’s 2.714 million viewers. The total viewership was the highest for the show since the live debut on USA, which of course was also bolstered by the Draft.

Smackdown topped all cable originals for the night, with OWN’s The Haves & Have Nots in second place (0.8 demo rating, 2.954 million viewers).
