Whatever the reason, SmackDown continued to slowly but steadily grow its audience on Nov. 28. 2,680,000 people tuned in to USA Network for Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens (among other things). That’s just 18K more than last week, but it’s also only 79K less than Raw did on the 27th.
WWE had the sixth most viewers of any of the night’s original cable programming. It was behind History’s Curse of Oak Island, Fixer Upper on HGTV, Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on Fox News in audience size. The blue brand won the night among 18-49 year olds with a .82 share for the fourth straight week.
With an event to build to (Dec. 17’s Clash of Champions), can SmackDown get closer to Raw - or even pass them? Consider that while perusing this rundown of their numbers this year:
