After falling to a new USA Network low last week, WWE SmackDown bounced back in the ratings this week. Thursday’s episode brought in 2.346 million viewers and a 0.71 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic, up 11% each from last week’s 2.109 million and 0.64. The numbers were still a bit below the 2.431 million and 0.73 from two weeks ago but fall approximately in line with what the show has been doing after WrestleMania before last week.
SmackDown ranked #4 among cable originals for the night behind the NBA Playoff game on TNT (1.36 demo rating, 3.496 million viewers), the post-game SportsCenter (0.79, 1.725 million) and A&E’s 60 Days In (0.78, 1.628 million).
