WWE SmackDown Live Viewership (1/23): Numbers Drop Heading Into Royal Rumble

By comparison, last week’s episode of SmackDown Live finished with an average of 2.602 million viewers.

The news would have to be considered a disappointment considering the fact that the show was not only following the most-watched episode of RAW in years for RAW 25 on Monday, but because it was also the “go-home” (final) episode of the show heading into Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble 2018 pay-per-view. Traditionally, the Royal Rumble is the second biggest annual show on the WWE pay-per-view calendar, as well as the first of the new year.
