Tuesday’s edition of WWE SmackDown Live from Tulsa, OK at the BOK Center averaged 2.072 million viewers.
This is up from 1.983 million the previous week, which served as the post-Money In The Bank pay-per-view event episode of the blue branded show. This show was the highest viewed episode since April 23rd that did the exact same number.
The episode was expected to increase in viewership as this show was heavily hyped. It also didn’t have to go up major competition such as the NBA with a playoff game like previous weeks.
The show had to go up against Hannity that did 2.953, Curse of Oak Island on History that did 1.158 million viewers, Rachel Maddow Show with 2.444 and Tucker Carlson Tonight that drew 2.742.
Matches that took place on this show include WWE Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens in a non-title match, Mandy Rose (w/Sonya Deville) vs. Carmella, WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Lacey Evans in a non-title match, and R-Truth & Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre & Elias (w/Shane McMahon) in the main event.
