The numbers are in for last night’s episode of SmackDown Live, and this week’s episode, which featured the final build for Sunday’s Clash of Champions, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens trying to takeover SmackDown Live, and Ruby Riott take on SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte, drew 2.481 million viewers. This is down from last week’s 2.493 million viewers.

While the audience didn’t decrease all that much, any decrease for a go-home show is never good. Maybe fans are bored or maybe they just don’t see the appeal in the upcoming PPV. I guess we will see next week when the audience either goes up or down in the aftermath of the PPV.

The blue brand was #13 in viewership for this week on cable, falling behind two airings of CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Curse of Oak Island, Last Word, 11th Hour, Rachel Maddow, The Ingraham Angle, Hannity, All In, Tucker Carlson, The Story, and Special Report. SmackDown Live was #6 in the 18-49 demographic, falling behind Anderson Cooper, NBA games on ESPN, and Curse of Oak Island. Coverage of the special Senate election in Alabama dominated the night.

SmackDown Live drew a .71 cable rating for the night in the 18-49 demographic. This was down from the .76 rating they garnered in the same demographic for last week’s episode.
