WWE loaded up SmackDown this week with big matches such as Roman Reigns vs. Rusev and Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho because of the low rating SmackDown pulled last week.

The July 4 show posted 1.881 million viewers and a 1.37 (1.4) cable rating. This was down from the 2.02 (2.0) cable rating and 2.966 million viewers from the week before.
