– While SmackDown Live is generally considered the better show between the two, it still retains only 80% of the audience from Raw and this week’s episode of the show didn’t even do that.
The episode featuring Team Hell No vs. The Usos in the main event drew 2.013 million viewers, which is the second lowest audience for it since moving to Tuesday Night.
It was down 5.7% from last week’s 2.135 million viewers and was barely able to beat the 1.921 million viewers from Election Night on November 8th, 2016.
The show airing a day before the 4rth of July doesn’t appear to be the cause of the low ratings as it aired on the actual Holiday in 2017 and still drew 2.329 million viewers.
– This week’s episode of SmackDown saw the WWE Champion AJ Styles facing Aiden English but after Styles’ victory, the #1 contender Rusev attacked the Phenomenal One.
WWE posted a video of this post-match beatdown on their Twitter account and replying to it, AJ said that it will take more than that to tear down what he has built:
Gonna take more than that to tear down what I’ve built. You’ve got less than two weeks until #ExtremeRules. Enjoy the song and dance until then. #AndStill https://t.co/lCVJHptPgR
