It dropped to 1.78 last week and ticked up to a 1.79 this week, well below Raw&#8217;s 2.03 rating. Viewership was 2.533 million viewers. A year ago Smackdown drew a 1.68 rating, so Smackdown being live on Tuesdays with its own distinct roster has led to an increase in rating consistently over year-ago numbers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keller&#8217;s Analysis:\u00a0Raw going up against the college football championship game combined with Cena facing Baron Corbin in an advertised main event created a glimmer of a chance that Smackdown might compete with Raw this week, but the rating instead was right in line with both shows&#8217; rolling ten-week averages.\u00a0Raw has averaged a 2.02 rating the prior ten weeks and Smackdown has averaged a 1.79 the prior ten weeks, almost exactly what they drew this week. There&#8217;s not really a week on the horizon where it&#8217;d be\u00a0likely Smackdown would beat Raw in the ratings again now that Monday\u00a0night sports competition is over for the season.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1739408793\"><div id=\"pwtor-549904050\"><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>The ratings &#8220;war&#8221; between Raw and Smackdown lasted a whole week, as Smackdown failed to gain traction after scoring the 2.02 rating two weeks ago for John Cena&#8217;s return.
