SmackDown was #5 for the night on cable in viewership, behind Curse of Oak Island, The O'Reilly Factor, Special Report and The Five. SmackDown was #2 in the 18-49 demographic, behind Curse of Oak Island.
In comparison, Monday's RAW averaged 2.955 million viewers, up from last week's 2.758 million viewers

SmackDown was #2 in the 18-49 demographic, behind Curse of Oak Island. So, you put on a show that features charisma-less personalities, that has little-to-no story progression on a regular basis, and, when there is a glimmer of hope of something finally happening, it is quickly squashed and found out to be nothing. And still, you beat WWE! |

Just the thought of this business being saved by removing that disgrace Ziggler from the title match caused people to tune in.
Now that Ziggler is still in, I expect SD to hit an all time low.

No, I believe it has been closer than this at some points of the last few months. And yes, SmackDown was often higher rated than RAW over that time period. |

There's an article from Entertainment Weekly that talks about ratings challenged WCW in 2000, and how they were only drawing 3.25 million viewers against Raw on Mondays. The term used was a frail franchise. Different times.
