The WWE SmackDown ratings data and viewership information is in for this week’s show, and the blue brand saw their numbers drop after an up-tick last week. Last night’s show, which featured the fallout from Kevin Owens’ attack on Vince McMahon, the Women’s Division main event, and a kinda-sorta US Title match that never really got started due to Tye Dillinger attacking Baron Corbin, drew 2.510 million viewers. This is down from last week’s 2.754 million viewers, which was the show’s best number since mid-April

WWE had only advertised the US Title match ahead of last night’s show, and with the way things have been going with Styles’ title defenses lately, fans may have thought that they wouldn’t see an actual match…and they were right. However, those that tuned in got to see Charlotte’s return and more hype for the upcoming Hell In A Cell PPV.

SmackDown Live was #7 in viewership for the night, falling behind Rachel Maddow, Tucker Carlson, Special Report, The Story, Hannity, and The Five. SmackDown was #2 in the 18-49 demographic on cable for the night, behind American Horror Story. In the coveted 18-49 demographic, the show drew a .74 rating. This is down from last week’s .88 rating in the same demographic
