SmackDown Audience Increases For Second Week In A Row

The SmackDown audience was up for the second week in the row and this week’s episode posted its best numbers since the May 1st edition of the Blue Branded Show.

The episode featuring the #1 Contenders Gauntlet Match to determine AJ Styles’ next challenger in the main event, averaged 2.315 million viewers which was up 6% from the previous episode.

Though not everything was well as the show was down eight percent year-over-year and the Blue Brand was only able to retain 80% of the Raw’s viewers from Monday Night.

Rusev won the bout which also involved Daniel Bryan, The Miz, Big E and Samoa Joe and the former NXT Star will now face the Champion AJ Styles at the upcoming Extreme Rules PPV.

After the show, both Rusev and Lana commented on the Bulgarian Brute’s victory via their twitter accounts with Rusev being happy on this ‘Rusev Day’ and Lana explaining that hard work pays off:
