WWE SmackDown Viewership Drops on FS1
The latest episode of WWE SmackDown, which aired on FS1, experienced a significant drop in viewership compared to the previous week’s episode on FOX. According to Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics, the show garnered 1,145,000 viewers, down from the 2,254,000 viewers the week before.
The decline in viewership can be attributed to several factors, one of which is the competition from the MLB World Series on FOX. The World Series drew a massive audience of 9.172 million viewers and a key demo rating of 1.95. With such a high-profile sporting event taking place at the same time, it’s understandable that WWE SmackDown faced challenges in retaining its viewers.
Despite the drop in viewership, WWE SmackDown still managed to achieve a 0.35 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. However, this is lower than the 0.59 rating it received in the previous week. The decline in both viewership and ratings indicates that the show struggled to capture the attention of its target audience.
The episode featured several notable segments and matches, including a contract signing between Roman Reigns and LA Knight, a tag team match between Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar and The Street Profits, and a singles match between LA Knight and Jimmy Uso. These matches and segments were undoubtedly entertaining for those who tuned in.
