Overnight SmackDown ratings show this week’s episode was down 10% from last week to 2,345,000 average viewers. This is the worst rating since moving to FOX, not including the one week it was on FS1 and had the worst rating in SmackDown history.
When FOX agreed on the deal to bring SmackDown to the channel they thought they were getting Brock Lesnar, but instead, they get King Corbin introducing a guy in a dog costume.

There was also Miz TV with Daniel Bryan and an NXT woman and Undisputed Era invasion.
The show finished behind every show on the major networks, except for ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat, and barely beat that. To say Vince McMahon is blowing the biggest opportunity he has ever had to make WWE mainstream is an understatement.
