This week's SmackDown Live was headlined by The New Day winning a Tag Team Gauntlet match to earn Kofi Kingston a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.
In total, the show drew 2.393 million viewers which is up from last Tuesday's 2.208 million viewers. That's a great result and the blue brand's best ratings in 2019 so far. It's also the highest number the show has done since SmackDown 1000 which reached 2.545 million viewers.
WWE advertised Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles beforehand and SmackDown Live also featured a surprise title change as Charlotte Flair took the Women's Championship from Asuka.
In comparison, RAW drew 2.589 million viewers this week which is down from the previous Monday's 2.695 million viewers. Clearly, there's a lot more interest in #KofiMania right now!
