Smackdown Rating: Under Siege angle helps Smackdown draw largest rating in over a month (w/Keller’s Analysis)

WWE Smackdown on Tuesday night on USA Network, among live and same-night-DVR viewers, drew a 1.87 rating, the highest since Sept. 12. That is above the rolling ten week average headed into the week of 1.75 and the 2017 average of 1.76. Viewership was 2.70 million. One year ago, Smackdown drew a 1.73 rating.

Keller’s Analysis: Smackdown clearly got a bump from the Under Siege angle that ended Raw. Will the hook that a retaliation from Raw could happen any upcoming week help sustain the uptick in viewership?
