WWE Backstage Viewership Drops With CM Punk Absence

CM Punk wasn’t on WWE Backstage this week. How did it affect ratings?

Showbuzz Daily reports that this week’s episode of WWE Backstage brought in 121,000 viewers. That is down from last week’s 180,000.

WWE backstage only brought in 49,000 viewers with their premiere episode in their regular time slot on FS1. The second week of the show brought 100,000 viewers then the next week they brought in 180,000 with CM Punk on the show.

We haven’t heard if CM Punk is going to be on next week’s episode, but it definitely couldn’t hurt the ratings. WWE Backstage airs every Tuesday at 11:00 PM EST on FS1.
