SmackDown scored its second biggest TV audience since the live draft special, garnering 2.714 million viewers on USA Tuesday night.
The number was up 10% from last week and was the highest number the show has done since July 25th.
The show did an 0.89 rating in the 18-49 demo, the highest number on cable television. The total audience was third for the night behind The O'Reilly Factor and The Haves and The Have Nots. SmackDown is now averaging 2.612 million viewers since the live draft special, well above what it had been doing on Thursday nights prior to the brand extension.
As has been the case most weeks, the audience was between 80-85% of the Raw audience, this week settling in at 82.18%.
