WWE Smackdown draws 2.60 million viewers

November 23, 2019 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE Smackdown on Fox drew 2.60 million viewers for its two hour slot Friday night on the network.  The telecast saw an uptick in viewership after its lowest dip last week.

WWE Smackdown’s first hour drew 2.701 million viewers with a 0.8 rating in the A18-49 demo.  It’s second hour drew 2.5 million viewers although it held its 0.8 rating in the second hour.

Smackdown Ratings

10.04 3,880,000
10.11 2,877,000
10.18 2,418,000
10.25 888,000
11.01 2,605,000
11.08 2,725,000
11.15 2,445,000
11.22 2,600,000

Payout Perspective:

While its not the best news, one would have expected the ratings to go up from its Fox low (its previous low was on FS1 opposite the World Series on Fox).  With a big event coming up this weekend, one had to expect the ratings to go up.  Still, WWE Smackdown is behind ABC, NBC and CBS in viewership but WWE still holds a grasp of the A18-49 demo for the night.
