Last week’s episode of Smackdown held steady in the rating from the initial overnight estimate, while viewership was up from that mark. Friday’s episode brought in a 0.6 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic in the final numbers and 2.234 million viewers, compared to the 0.6 demo rating and 2.142 million viewers that was reported in the overnights. This is a pretty standard situation for overnights to final numbers, in that the demo rating generally holds while viewership ticks up a touch.

Both numbers were down from the previous week’s final numbers, with the metrics off a tick from the November 6th show’s 0.7 demo rating while the audience was down 3.5% from that week’s 2.315 million. Smackdown finished #2 among all shows for the night across broadcast and cable per Showbuzz Daily, behind only ABC’s Shark Tank (0.8 demo rating, 4.554 million viewers).
