– This week’s WWE SmackDown, featuring AJ Styles defeating The Miz in the main event, drew 1.948 million viewers.
This is down 14% from last week’s 2.264 million viewers and the second-lowest audience since the blue brand moved to Tuesday nights, barely beating the 1.921 million viewers from Election Night on November 8th, 2016, which was the last time the show drew under 2 million viewers. Outside of Election Night, this is the lowest SmackDown audience for a first-run non-holiday episode.
SmackDown was #10 for the night in viewership on cable, behind Curse of Oak Island, Rachel Maddow Show, Hannity, Tucker Carlson Tonight, Last Word, The Ingraham Angle, The Five, All In and Special Report. SmackDown was #3 in the 18-49 demographic this week, behind Curse of Oak Island and Below Deck.
– As noted, this week’s WWE RAW saw Rhyno lose a “Loser Gets Fired” match to partner Heath Slater, which was ordered by General Manager-Elect Baron Corbin. Corbin later demoted Slater to the role of referee. Slater and Corbin had the following exchange this week as Slater promises to fight back:
A lot of people are blaming me for @Rhyno313 being out of a job. If you want to blame someone blame @HeathSlaterOMRB he is the one who beat him. He could have just quit. That’s what a real friend would have done. #RAW— Baron Corbin (@BaronCorbinWWE) December 4, 2018
It’s all your fault. I know it, The @WWEUniverse knows it, and you know it. I didn’t want this to happen. But when you put my back up against the wall. I will fight back no matter what. #igotkids @WWE I’m so sorry @Rhyno313 https://t.co/frH43uIf16— Heath Slater (@HeathSlaterOMRB) December 5, 2018
