WWE brought a pre-taped SmackDown this week prior to Clash at the Castle. They had a lot to do for the build-up before the huge UK event. How did the viewership turn out?

According to Spoiler TV, the September 2nd edition of SmackDown drew an overnight average of 1.952 viewers, with a .4 in the 18 to 49 demographic.

August 26th’s edition of WWE SmackDown scored 2.392 million viewers, with a .50 in the 18 to 49 demographic. SmackDown was pre-empted in Charlotte, Portland, New Orleans, and Las Vegas for pre-season NFL games. They saw a big boost because of that. When the final viewership came in from Showbuzz Daily, after the NFL pre-empting was taken out of the equation, SmackDown’s viewership was 1.990 million viewers. That is quite a drop from the 2.292 they previously charted.

The August 19th edition of WWE SmackDown raked in 2,084,000 viewers. They also captured a .47 in the 18 to 49 demographic.
