According to ShowBuzzDaily.com, this week’s edition of WWE Smackdown Live, featuring fallout from WWE Backlash and Jinder Mahal’s WWE Title celebration, averaged 2.328 million viewers. This week’s number is up from last week’s 2.175 million viewership average. Last week’s number was a record low for 2017.
