This past Friday’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FS1 drew an average of 888,000 viewers, down from last week’s 2,441,000 on FOX.
That’s not a typo, and is by far the lowest viewer number in SmackDown history.
SmackDown was moved to FS1 from its usual home on FOX last week because FOX was airing game 3 of the World Series, which drew 12,220,000 viewers. SmackDown will return to FOX this Friday.
SmackDown was #9 in the 18-49 demographic for the day with a 0.27 rating.
An episode of WWE Backstage following SmackDown at 10 PM ET on FS1 drew 426,000 viewers.
