WWE SmackDown viewership dropped on October 28.
According to Brandon Thurston of Showbuzz Daily, 835,000 viewers watched the show on Friday. This number is down from last week, when 2.231 million viewers watched the show. It’s important to note that SmackDown was preempted to FS1 due to FOX’s coverage of the World Series, and FS1 isn’t available in as many homes.
In the 18 to 49 demographic, SmackDown scored a 0.23, which is also down from last week’s rating (0.52 in the same demographic). SmackDown ranked #5 among cable originals in the demographic, per Showbuzz Daily.
World Series on Fox had 11.5 million viewers
Smackdown was the #5 cable original in P18-49. Rampage was #27, according to Showbuzz Daily.
