These numbers are just preliminary estimates based on a limited number of markets and the final viewer amounts and rating numbers should be released on Monday by around 4:30 PM ET.

Data isn’t available yet for how SmackDown and Rampage did when going head to head from 10 – 10:30.

18-49 ratings also aren’t available yet. Based on past ratings numbers, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics estimated that the viewer numbers above would translate to about a 0.22 rating for SmackDown and a 0.19 rating for Rampage, but we’ll have to wait for Monday for the actual numbers.
