I'm shocked that this show did this number. It felt like a complete retread but I've been surprised to see some like Alvarez say it was the best Smackdown in ages. I just thought it was incredibly dull with the same shit going on and on.

I will say it's good for Bryan and Cesaro that they basically had a 42 Minute Opening Segment/Match/Ending Segment to start the show and that did not chase anyone off.

Honestly, considering how up and down NXT and Raw have been the past couple of years, Smackdown being at around 2m for as long as it has is this really weird consistent anomaly.

Yeah, I don't get it. The matches were good, sure, but the show feels like it's still in a holding pattern or something.

The total viewers have been consistent lately but the 18-49 number has been trending downward for a bit with an occasional bump. RAW has beaten it the past two weeks. Curious if that trend continues. If they're going to do a better number than recent weeks, it should be next week.
