Smackdown had the best chance to beat Raw in the ratings this week but instead of doing that, it pulled the second-lowest number of 2018 so far with 2,095,000 viewers, down 98,000 viewers from last week’s show.

The last time Smackdown did so bad in numbers was on July 3. It was #2 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic but #10 in overall viewership for the night. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
