SmackDown suffers another drop in ratings

Last week’s episode of SmackDown aired live from the Performance Center but it still saw a decline in viewership compared to the previous episode of the show.

 


 

According to showbuzz daily, last week’s episode of SmackDown drew an average of 2.187 million viewers on FOX, which is down from the overnight viewership of 2.192 million viewers

This is also a 5.6% decline from the previous episode of the Blue Brand which was the post WrestleMania 36 episode of the show and had drawn 2.317 million viewers.

WWE had returned to live television last week because their TV contracts only allowed a certain number of taped episodes and they feared losing the contracts with TV Network.

However both Fox and NBC Universal have assured the company that their deals will not be affected with this change. The company has since made the decision to move back to taped shows and it would be interesting to see how it will affect the ratings moving forward.
