The novelty of seeing John Cena&#8217;s return and a heavily hyped Triple Threat match for the WWE World Title outdrew the Miz vs. Dean Ambrose IC Title match and the Cena-A.J. Styles contract signing. Prime time network programming is starting to air new episodes this week, so that likely factored in to the drop back to the prior average.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4023173309\"><div id=\"pwtor-3459256506\"><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>Smackdown came up way short of a second straight week beating Raw in the ratings, drawing a 1.78 rating on Tuesday.
