The final episode of WWE SmackDown on SyFy hit a near-low on New Year’s Eve. Thursday’s episode brought in 1.658 million viewers and a 0.46 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic, down 27% and 35% from the previous week’s 2.264 million viewers and 0.71 demo rating.

The numbers were the lowest since the Thanksgiving episode, which drew 1.652 million viewers and an equal 0.46 rating.
