As noted, this week’s WWE SmackDown drew 2.292 million viewers, down from last week’s 2.658 million viewers. This was the lowest viewership since SmackDown moved to Tuesday nights, beating the previous low of 2.45 million for the August 9th episode. The final rating for the show was a 1.70, down from last week’s 1.86 rating. This is the second-lowest rating since SmackDown moved to Tuesdays, in line with the 1.69 rating for the August 9th episode.
This was a rough week for WWE TV ratings as RAW drew 2.684 million viewers, the lowest viewership for a non-holiday RAW going back to the 1990s and the second-lowest since the 90s, including holiday episodes. As noted, the final RAW rating was a 1.97, up from last week’s 1.88 rating but still under the 2.0 mark. This was the first time RAW had back-to-back ratings under 2.0 since the 90s.
