WWE Backstage Viewership Sees Increase For Christmas Eve Episode

The viewership numbers are in for the latest episode of WWE Backstage, a weekly talk show.

The show that aired on FS1 at 11pm ET drew 153,000 viewers. This is up from last week’s 93,000 viewers, according to Showbuzz Daily. 

As a result, this second-best viewership since the premiere episode of the show in its normal timeslot on FOX Sports 1 back in November. 

In the 18-49 demographic, WWE Backstage drew a 0.05 rating this week, which is right in line as the previous rating last week. 

Regarding the Cable Top 150, unlike last week’s show that didn’t make the cut, this week’s show ranked #124. 

It’s an interesting number as the show aired on Christmas Eve, which many people thought the show would drop in viewership as a result. The episode featured appearances by Maria Menounos and actor Paul Walter Houser as they served as the special guests. The show looked at the 2019 WWE Year-End Awards. 

It should be noted that former WWE Champion CM Punk didn’t make an appearance on the show. Instead, former NXT Women’s Champion Ember Moon filled that role. 

WWE Backstage Viewership Numbers This Year

WWE only has one more show of the weekly television series as it will air next Tuesday, which is New Year’s Eve. Here is how the viewership numbers look like since its premiere: 

  • November 5: 49,000 viewers
  • November 12: 100,000 viewers
  • November 19: 180,000 viewers
