WWE Smackdown falls slightly this week to 2M viewers

May 23, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE Friday Night SmackDown drew an average of approximately 2 million viewers on Friday night on Fox according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The good news is that it did score the best A18-49 ratings for networks on Friday night.

The telecast was down slightly from last week.  The event drew a 0.6 in the A18-49 demo and a 5 share in the M18-49 and a 2 share for the over 50.

The telecast fell slightly from the first hour to the second hour but relatively maintained its audience.

Payout Perspective:

CBS won the night with its lineup of popular reruns although the most watched show of the night, a rerun of Blue Bloods, drew just slightly over 4.5 million which means that a lot of viewers took the night off from the networks.

This Anthony Smith situation is sad, its another cry for help of someone that's obviously suffering from something. No way you harm your wife and threaten to kill yourself just because.
