Did 2.393 million viewers, way up from last week's 2.208 million which was already the best in awhile as it was.

Kofi draws, bro.

SD deserved it due to Kofi, he better win the title at WM.

[Rican]

Kofi being universally over with every crowd and a proven ratings draw is so validating and makes me so happy.

[Perd]

Just to think, all they had to do, to improve ratings, was push a guy who’s been there 11
years.

Kofi's just that damn dope. I say it as someone who's been skipping shows lately, I'll watch SDL with Kofi in that spot.

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

They've struck gold with the KofiMania angle.

[Mister Pigwell]

This makes me so happy.
Go Koffi.

[Hit Girl]

Superstar Billy Graham won't like this.

[Feargus McReddit]

I am super happy about this now, not even just because I’ve always been a Kofi guy and this is great validation but man...this is what happens if you give people a story they can sink their teeth into.

Does it have a few misteps? Absolutely but the fact people are tuning in regardless compared to what’s going on with Raw? That should say something that nobody important’s going to really listen to.

I guarantee that Vince is taking credit for this. lol

Good for Kofi though.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Gauntlets = ratings!

Vince should take credit. He gets the flack when the stories suck. He deserves credit for giving us one we like.

Night...or generously a month after Kofi wins at Mania

Vince: Sorry Kofi you got over without our backing so we will be having to reftify your push for someone more suited for our shareholders....someone call Baron Corbin

[Hypnosis]

Great for Kofi, but they need to give Gauntlets a rest for a while.

I meant in terms of his involvement. lol The story would be just as good or better without him in it. I was joking though, carry on.

[H-Virus]

Vince-Logic: God damnit, I should have taken the title off of Asuka months ago!

[Deleted]

So how long before they move him to Raw then?

When the show is good people will happily tune in to it. This is living proof of that; a tepid-ass Mania build has found a spark of something people can sink their teeth into and it's bringing up Smackdown's ratings. People will watch WWE when it's good and they're interested in, TV ratings aren't just arbitrarily bad forever and will never improve.
