Last year, the October 25 episode of SmackDown was moved to FS1 because of the World Series and drew only 888,000 viewers, its lowest viewer number ever. The following week, it was back on FOX and drew 2,543,000 viewers.

Game two of the World Series will air this Wednesday on FOX, going head to head with AEW Dynamite and NXT. If there’s a game seven, it’ll air the following Wednesday.
