WWE SmackDown Ratings For January 22nd Show
This week's WWE SmackDown ratings and viewership figures are in, and the show saw one of its steadiest figures across the broadcast's two hours in recent memory. According to the overnights published to Showbuzz Daily, SmackDown averaged 2.284 million viewers for hour number one and 2.280 million viewers for hour number two. Therefore, the average viewership for the show came in at 2.282 million viewers. If this number holds (final figures will be released on Monday), it would be up slightly compared to last week's SmackDown which averaged 2.262 million viewers.
In terms of pure viewership, SmackDown's 2.282 million ranked eighth place across network television on Friday night. The show was defeated by all other prime time programming on ABC, NBC, and CBS, including Shark Tank, 20/20, MacGyver, Magnum P.I., Blood Bloods, The Blacklist, and Dateline NBC.
