Tuesday’s episode of Smackdown managed to generate 2.35 million viewers as its average and up by around one percent compared to last week’s 2.28 million viewers. The main focus of the show was towards the Fatal Five-way match to determine the number one contender for Smackdown Women’s Championship and also featured Ziggler facing off against AJ Styles for the main event.
In terms of cable rankings, Smackdown was ranked third for total viewers and first for the 18-49 demographic for the night.
While overall ratings and viewership have struggled on both RAW and Smackdown since the Superstar Shakeup episode and NBA Playoffs, Smackdown has started to show some signs of going back to normal due to the past three out of four weeks being increases.
