WWE Backstage receives big increase in viewership

By Harrison - April 2, 2020

This week’s episode of WWE Backstage was a special episode of the show. While the FOX Sports Studios is still closed, the episode was filmed with webcams.

On the episode, The Rock and Stone Cold’s third WrestleMania match was replayed with Mark Henry and Booker T giving commentary for the legendary match. Charlotte Flair was also interviewed via a webcam as well.

According to a report by Showbuzz Daily, this week’s episode received 143,000 viewers. This is a huge increase from the previous show’s rating of 35,000 viewers.

We will have to see who is featured on the next episode of the show. And if they continue replaying older matches.

Viewing figures for any show (not just wrestling) will see some pretty drastic changes in numbers in the coming weeks. While the actual wrestling shows will see a drop off as the novelty of empty arenas has worn off after the first few shows, other shows that do not rely on crowds will more than likely see raised numbers purely based on more people being at home and being bored.
