If you remove the 1.38 on election day, the November average was 1.75. The last three week&#8217;s average is 1.81. So there&#8217;s some traction. I wonder if some of the growth is just Goldberg bringing some lapsed fans back and enough of them liked what they saw to stick around for the other wrestlers and feuds. Or maybe the James Ellsworth storyline is working, too.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2179520956\"><div id=\"pwtor-1408095150\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week&#8217;s Smackdown Live followed the Monday Night Raw ratings, drawing a 1.78, which is\u00a0well above the ten week average of 1.68.
