WWE SmackDown fell a bit in the ratings this week. Thursday’s episode scored a 0.63 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic, with 2.08 million viewers. That’s down 6% and 3% from last week’s 0.67 demo rating and 2.145 million viewers. Both numbers were still higher than the 0.6 and 2.073 million from two weeks ago, however.
