Tuesday’s edition of WWE SmackDown Live from Fresno, CA on the USA Network averaged 1.904 million viewers, down from 2.214 million the previous week, according to ShowbuzzDaily.

The episode was expected to draw poor viewership due to it failing on Christmas night and being pre-taped. Some of the matches that took place include The Usos & The Club vs. Sanity & The Bar, Mustafa Ali vs. Andrade Almas, Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe, and Rusev vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Title. It also featured an appearance by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon where he was attacked by AJ Styles.

WWE will attempt to rebound with next week’s episode but with this being the New Year’s Day episode, the expectation is that this episode will door poor ratings. It will also be a taped show.

WWE also hyped the Royal Rumble and the matches taking place at that show In case you missed the show, you can check out the 6 takeaways from it here.

Despite WWE putting some together some intriguing segments for the show, this episode faced some solid competition. The show had to go up against the NBA game between Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors on ESPN that pulled in 2.237 million viewers.
