Analysis
SmackDown’s spike in numbers is likely due to strong storytelling heading into Survivor Series, particularly the intrigue around CM Punk’s involvement with The OG Bloodline. On the other hand, Rampage continues to struggle with maintaining consistent viewership, possibly hindered by its placement on the schedule and less marquee matchups.
