#2 One brand falls while the other soars high
Last week, SmackDown Live scored its lowest ratings for the year, 2017. From 2.175 million viewers, SmackDown rose to a total of 2.328 million viewers with an increase of 153,000 fans tuning in to watch. This was probably because of a dream alliance between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles, as well as the shock of Jinder Mahal’s sudden win.
On the other hand, Raw scored its lowest ratings all year long with only 2.615 million viewers tuning in. It was a massive drop from the 2.751 million viewers who had tuned in to watch last week. Unfortunately, it seems that the lack of the Universal Champion on the show is adversely affecting the product.
