MLB Playoffs Challenge SmackDown’s Dominance

Summary:
– SmackDown’s recent episode pulls in 2.253 million viewers, marking a decline.
– Despite the drop, the show still tops network TV in the 18-49 demographic.
– MLB playoff games emerge as strong competitors, pushing SmackDown to fourth place overall on TV.

WWE’s blue brand, SmackDown, experienced a noticeable dip in viewership, drawing an average of 2.253 million on Fox. This comes right after the buzz of their season premiere, showing a 6.8% decrease in numbers.

While the decline might raise eyebrows, it’s essential to note that SmackDown wasn’t without its victories. The show managed to clinch the numero uno spot on network television for the coveted 18-49 age group, boasting a 0.59 rating. However, the broader TV landscape presented stiff competition. Two MLB League Championship Series playoff games and an MLB postgame show outperformed SmackDown, relegating it to the fourth position.

Year-over-year data offers a silver lining, with SmackDown’s total viewership ticking up by 1% compared to the same week in 2022. The 18-49 demographic also saw a promising 13.5% rise.
