WWE Smackdown TV Ratings Tracking

June 16: Thursday Night Smackdown leading into MITB scored a 1.56 rating, rebounding from a year-low 1.51 TV rating last week.

Smackdown drew 2.073 million viewers, up four percent from last week’s record-low for a live, non-holiday episode of 1.996 million viewers.

Smackdown was helped by a rebound in key demos after bottoming out last week.

Males 18-34 rebounded one-tenth of a rating, adults 18-49 was up slightly, and males 18-49 was up slightly from year-lows or near-year-lows last week.

Overall, though, the episode would have been the lowest-rated and least-watched of the year if removing last week’s show.
