The show’s recent four-week average stands at 1,150,000 viewers. The latest episode finished 146,000 viewers below that number.
Even with the drop, SmackDown stayed above one million viewers. The number keeps the show in a familiar range for USA Network, though the year-over-year demo decline remains the bigger story.
