WWE SmackDown Viewership Takes Significant Hit On FS1 Against World Series

WWE brought the second-to-last episode of SmackDown before Crown Jewel this week. They had a lot of things go down in the two-hour show, and now we know how many viewers tuned in to see what happened.

Ringside News provided comprehensive coverage of the October 27th episode of WWE SmackDown. They made a few headlines, and brought a big show to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

According to Alfred Konuwa, the October 27th episode of WWE SmackDown drew an overnight viewership of 1.077 million, with a 414k of those in the 18 to 49 demographic. That number was way down from last week, but SmackDown also aired this episode on FS1 due to the 2023 MLB World Series. It is notable that both of those numbers are up from the last time WWE aired SmackDown on FS1.
