Last week&#8217;s rating, the day after the Under Siege angle, drew an above-average 1.87 rating. This week&#8217;s rating was a rare instance of Smackdown drawing a rating lower than the same week one year earlier (1.58).<\/p>\n<p><i>Keller&#8217;s Analysis: This isn&#8217;t worth panicking over, as it&#8217;s obviously a hit they took due to the holiday and sports competition. It&#8217;s just an outlier and should be interpreted that way. Smackdown was solid this week, but not huge in terms of plot developments or major angles, so it&#8217;s not a big loss that so many fewer people saw it in that they&#8217;ll tune in next week feeling lost. WWE can catch people up on the happenings pretty\u00a0quickly in a recap video next week.<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1075311935\"><div id=\"pwtor-362573622\"><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>Tuesday&#8217;s episode of WWE Smackdown Live drew a 1.53 rating among live and same-night-DVR viewers, tying the lowest rating of the year (May 16 also drew a 1.53).
