Tuesday’s episode of WWE SmackDown scored a 2.20 rating, which is up from the 1.56 rating the show drew last week. The show averaged 3,170 million viewers, which is up from the 2,068 million viewers the show did last Thursday. SmackDown ranked #1 in the top 150 shows on cable for the night. WWE has to be thrilled with these numbers because that’s a huge jump from what they were averaging on Thursday’s.
USA Network pushed for WWE to go live on Tuesday night’s and it may have paid off. We’ll have to see how the numbers do in the next few weeks.
