Smackdown Viewership Up

This week's WWE Smackdown Live viewership saw a healthy increase.

According to ShowBuzz Daily, Tuesday's episode of WWE Smackdown Live drew 2.448 million viewers. This is an increase of over 130,000 viewers from last week's 2.316 million.

Smackdown reached #6 for the night in cable viewership. It was behind MLB Playoff baseball, Hannity, The Kelly File and the O'Reilly Factor. All of these are benefiting from the season, as we're in an election year, and baseball is in post-season. Smackdown trailed only MLB in the 18-49 demographic.

This week's show featured AJ Styles upset by James Ellsworth, as well as the TV in-ring return of Luke Harper.

Monday Night's episode of Raw drew 2.758 million viewers
