WWE SmackDown viewership dipped on March 18.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, 2.147 million viewers watched the show on Friday. This viewership number is down from last week, when 2.226 million viewers tuned in.
But the demographic rating is slightly up; Friday’s episode scored a 0.58 rating (755,000 viewers) in the 18 to 49 demographic, whereas last week’s show drew a 0.57 rating in the same demographic.
In the preempted time slot, unsurprisingly these are the lowest Rampage numbers in the show's 8-month history.
Smackdown numbers are well within normal range.
Charts above exclude preemptions.
