Showbuzz Daily reports that last Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown on FOX was able to draw a total of 2.131 million viewers, with a 0.48 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. This total is up 155.21% from last week’s final viewership of 835,000 viewers for the special FS1 episode.
Last Friday’s rating of 0.48 is up 108.69% from last week’s rating of 0.23. Last Friday’s 0.48 rating represents 626,000 viewers in the key 18-49 demographic, which is up 105.25% from the previous week’s 305,000 viewers with a 0.23 rating, Wrestlenomics reports. Last Friday night’s WWE SmackDown drew the lowest total audience on FOX since the taped episode on September 2 and the lowest key demo rating on FOX since August 26. It is important to note that these viewership numbers are irrelevant as well due to the cable-to-network change as the previous week’s episode aired on FS1 cable, while last Friday’s episode aired on FOX network TV and cable numbers are always lower than the network TV numbers.
