According to Wrestlinginc.com, this week’s episode of “Smackdown Live” drew 2.602 million viewers, virtually even with last week’s 2.603 million viewers. This week’s show featured a much smaller roster with many big names missing and two wrestlers working twice in the semifinals and finals of a tournament to crown a new United States Champion. The tournament final was moved to this week’s show with no advance warning.

Opinion: I’m not sure what it says that the lack of most of the show’s star power left the audience virtually unchanged. The numbers were almost exactly the same and very little changed with the stars gone, which makes for a bit of a head scratching reaction. It should be interesting to see where the numbers go next week after ans saw this show, but for now it’s mostly fine.
