WWE SmackDown took another step in climbing out of the hole that it fell into a couple of weeks ago. Thursday night’s episode of the show drew 2.083 million viewers and a 0.56 demographic. Those numbers are up 2% and 6% from last week’s 2.04 million and 0.53, and represent the best numbers since the August 27th episode brought in 2.195 million and a 0.65.
The show held up well against an excellent Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL game. The show was up against the NFL game between Denver and Kansas City, which did a 5.3 demo rating with 16.02 million viewers on CBS and 4.162 million viewers and a 1.83 demo rating on the NFL Network. The real challenge will be to see how it does next week against a slew of returning broadcast network shows.
WWE SmackDown ranked #9 among cable originals for the night, with the NFL game leading the way. Only two shows above SmackDown weren’t football-related were Teen Mom II and Project Runway.
