WWE Smackdown’s Move to Thursday Continues to Perform Well as This Week’s Show Sees Another Increase

By Nick Paglino

wwe smackdownAccording to Zap2It.com, last night’s edition of WWE Smackdown, which was the second week the show has aired in the new Thursday time slot, averaged 2.814 million viewers.

This week’s number is up from the 2.675 million viewers the show took in for the debut on Thursday nights last week.

Paglino: Is the number better this week because Smackdown is on Thursday nights or because WWE actually put creative effort into the show?

I still maintain viewership would have been better for Smackdown on Friday nights if WWE didn’t treat the show like a weekly Raw recap broadcast.
