The ratings are in for this week's episode of WWE Backstage on Fox Sports 1 and they're way up from last week's 100,000 viewers. CM Punk's presence was bound to increase interest in the show and that was evident from the fact that 180,000 people tuned in on Tuesday night.
This is still a significant drop from the preview episodes of WWE Backstage and it's hard to say whether FOX will be happy with how the show is doing in terms of viewership right now.
However, 180,000 is considered a fairly big number for the network and particularly for a show which airs at 11pm EST. Now, it's going to be interesting seeing whether CM Punk's presence continues drawing a big rating or whether interest starts dying down over the coming weeks.
Did you guys tune in on Tuesday night?
