The numbers are in for this week’s edition of WWE SmackDown Live. Smackdown finished with 2.530 million viewers on Tuesday night, good enough to finish as the fifth watched show on cable television in the Tuesday night ratings.

This number was down every so slightly from last week’s broadcast, which garnered 2.584 million viewers. SmackDown did finish number one for the night in the all important 18-49 age group demographic. It finished the night with 0.77 rating in that demo, down from last week’s 0.80.

SmackDown was defeated in overall viewership this week by the Rachel Maddow Show (3.297 million) on MSNBC, The Last Word with Laurence O’Donnell (2.785 million) on MSNBC,  Hannity (2.675 million) on FOX News, and Tucker Carlson Tonight (2.596 million) on FOX News.

SmackDown was the final cable broadcast before this Sunday night’s SummerSlam PPV. It was headlined by WWE Champion Jinder Mahal taking on John Cena. The match ended in a no contest after Baron Corbin interfered, cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase, and was then pinned by Mahal.
