The viewership numbers for the November 26 episode of WWE SmackDown are (finally) out after they were delayed by the Thanksgiving holiday, and they’re up across the board.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, 2.149 million viewers watched the show on Friday, and the show scored a 0.57 rating (741,000) viewers in the 18 to 49 demographic. These numbers are both increases from the November 19 episode, when 2.064 million viewers watched SmackDown, with a 0.52 rating in the same demographic.
Thurston also noted that SmackDown ranked fourth in the demo on Friday.
This was the least viewed episode of Rampage yet. The program debuted in August. It was 2nd-lowest in P18-49, ahead of Oct 8 (0.17).
