Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown Live averaged 2.183 million viewers for USA Network, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The number was up from the 2.013 million count from last Tuesday’s edition.
Powell’s POV: A minimal increase for a loaded show that featured AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and the final hype for Extreme Rules. The July 11, 2017 edition of Smackdown delivered 2.465 million viewers.
Where are all the Jinder haters who were blaming him for Smackdown’s low ratings last year? “Put the belt back on AJ and watch the ratings go up.” Still waiting…..
