The week’s Smackdown Live was slightly down from the go-home episode last week.
The show featured the fallout from the Royal Rumble, with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair getting into a brawl, The Usos winning a Fatal 4-Way Elimination match to determine a new #1 contender for the Tag Team titles, and Triple H announcing that WWE champion Daniel Bryan will be defending his title against Mustafa Ali, Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, and AJ Styles at next month's WWE Elimination Chamber PPV, drew 2.137 million viewers.
Last week’s episode, which advertised a two-out-of-three falls match between Andrade and Rey Mysterio, garnered 2.142 million viewers. In comparison to RAW, the flagship show drew 2.703 million viewers, up from last week's 2.462 million viewers.
