WWE Friday Night Smackdown Viewership, Rating Predictably Fall With Move to FS1


-- Last Friday's Smackdown viewership and ratings are in and as expected, the show took a massive hit on both accounts with a move to FS1 due to FOX airing the World Series instead. The two-hour show averaged 881,000 viewers with a 0.25 rating, both down slightly from last year when Smackdown also moved to the cable network due to baseball. The World Series game generated 8.156 million viewers with a 2.0 rating, leading FOX to victory on the night.
