-- The Christmas Day episode of Friday Night Smackdown, which was propped by a lead-in from an NFL game, ended up doing the second highest audience for the show since moving to FOX in 2019. The first half hour did 5.04 million viewers but part of that included the end of the football game. It fell to 3.15 million for the women’s tag team three-way match and then to 2.70 million for Daniel Bryan vs. Jey Uso and 2.45 million for Big E vs. Sami Zayn. Data also suggests that approximately 500,000 NFL fans were still watching Smackdown 90 minutes after the game ended, which isn’t abnormal as the football game ended with 20.1 million viewers, a gigantic lead-in all things considered.
