-- Friday's WWE Smackdown, which served as the Bad Blood go-home episode, averaged 1.518 million viewers, a small decrease from last week's 1.568 million. In the key 18-49 demographic, Smackdown trended up to a 0.47 rating compared to 0.45 the week prior. The rating powered Smackdown to first place on the nightly cable charts.
-- The show went head-to-head with college football on two channels - ESPN and Fox - and there was also an WNBA playoff game on ESPN2. Despite that competition, Smackdown finished second behind the college football game when taking into account all broadcast and cable television.
