Last night’s SmackDown Live at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA appeared to be very sparsely attended, with some people posting photos on Twitter saying that it was about half empty. The arena holds about 20,000 for concerts, but probably 15-17,000 for WWE shows because of the way the ramp and titantron area are set up and the viewing angles, etc.
@WrestlingSoup The SmackDown crowd is again half empty, this is embarrassing and sad. pic.twitter.com/939sC0eNlS

Monday’s Raw in San Jose also had reports of not great attendance.
Poor WWE RAW attendance tonight. Please give credit to WWE fan Nick if you use these photos. Entire upper deck closed, empty seats in lower. pic.twitter.com/ctjr5Q1exQ
