TV Line reported the overnight numbers for last night’s WrestleMania Backlash Go-Home edition of WWE SmackDown on FOX. The more detailed stats from Showbuzz Daily are not available on the moment as the site is down and isn’t expected to be back up until Monday. According to TV Line’s report, last night’s episode of SmackDown dropped to its lowest numbers in recent memory.
WWE SmackDown this week finished with an average overnight audience of 1.8 million viewers. That’s significantly down from the overnight audience of 2.157 million viewers for last week’s special Throwback episode.
