-- Friday's episode of WWE Smackdown averaged 1.341 million viewers, down from last week's 1.578 million. It's the second lowest audience since Smackdown moved to the USA Network, beating only the episode from two weeks prior that ran against the Paul-Tyson fight. In the 18-49 demo, Smackdown was also down to a 0.40 rating, also a USA Network low apart from the one two weeks ago.
-- Last week's episode was the Survivor Series go-home show, however, it was taped the week prior which often puts a small dent in viewership figures. It also aired on Black Friday, which may have also negatively affected people staying home and watching wrestling. Competition was also relatively strong with a slate of college football games on various networks that ended up combining for over 15 million viewers.
