Last night’s SmackDown returned to normal numbers following a week’s vacation to FS1, and even gained a boost compared to two weeks ago following a successful Hell in a Cell PPV this past Sunday. It also may have helped that the show’s competition has changed from playoff sports to Shark Tanks and a special about home videos.
In any case, the blue brand averaged 2.133 million viewers in overnight ratings according to Showbuzz Daily‘s count. The show also drew a 0.6 across both ours in the 18-49 demographic, outclassing everyone in the timeslot outside of 8 PM’s airing of Shark Tank on ABC. It’s a similar story in 18-34, where SmackDown and ABC’s Sharks both drew a 0.3.
