-- This week's WWE Smackdown averaged just 2.127 million viewers down from last week's 2.405 million, an 11% drop.
-- This number represents the lowest Smackdown rating since WWE decided to air the event live on Tuesdays (the previous low was 2.292 million on 9/20).
-- Arguably the biggest reason for the low rating is that the show faced stiff competition from the opening game of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, which drew 19.368 million viewers on FOX. As well, it was the opening night of the NBA.
