SmackDown's Viewership Post SummerSlam

[Solid Snake]

Last night's SmackDown drew 2.714 million viewers. This is up from last week's show, which drew 2.471 million viewers. It was number three for the night in viewership, behind The Have & Have Nots and The O'Reilly Factor, and number one in the 18-49 demographic. Here are the top moments according to WWE of last night's show:



SmackDown's numbers seem to keep improving. I could bet that if Raw went back down to 2 hours and had less filler, their ratings would start to go back up...
but alas, those are pipe dreams :downer:

SmackDown will likely beat RAW when Football starts again.

Post SS show though, people wanted Goldberg and Joe. It'll be down to about 2.4 again next week.

 

[Prince Bálor]

SmackDown's been so good lately.

Probably yeah. But nothing wrong with it either. I think it would be smarter for Smackdown to see slow and steady ratings increase. Rather than having a big spike and dropping down because they can't figure out how to maintain it.

Like Roadster said, it will be interesting to see the ratings between Smackdown and RAW once the NFL season kicks up
