This Week’s WWE Smackdown Draws Lowest Audience Since the Brand Split

By Nick Paglino

This week’s edition of WWE Smackdown Live, featuring AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose in the main event, averaged 2.127 million viewers. This week’s number is down from last week’s 2.405 million viewership average.

Additionally, this week’s WWE Smackdown was the least watch episode of the show since it went live on July 19th, and the 2.127 million viewership average is in line with what the show was drawing in the weeks leading up to the WWE brand split.

WWE Smackdown this week ranked #8 for the night in viewership, behind NBA games, Hannity, The Kelly File, The O’Reilly Factor, Special Report and The Five. The show was also up against game one of The World Series.

This week’s WWE Raw won the brand split war by a large margin as the show averaged 2.819 million viewers with the return of Brock Lesnar.
