SmackDown Viewership Up Slightly For Second-Ever Women’s Money In The Bank Match On 6/27
Last night's episode of SmackDown Live, featuring the Women's Money In the Bank Ladder Match do-over in the main event as well as a Women's Title squash match and the announcement of a Punjabi Prison Match for WWE Battleground, drew 2.603 million viewers, according to Show Buzz Daily. This is up only 6000 viewers over the 2.597 million viewers that watched last weeks MITB fallout show.
SmackDown came in #3 in viewership last night on cable, behind only FOX News's Tucker Carlson and Hannity. SmackDown did manage to take the #1 spot in the highly coveted 18-49 demographic for the second week in a row.
The 2.603 million viewers for last night constitutes the largest audience for SmackDown since the Superstar Shake-Up episode on April 11.
