WWE Smackdown Ratings For 4/9/19: #1 In Cable

How did the post WWE WrestleMania Smackdown perform in the ratings?

WWE held the post-WrestleMania Smackdown, a higher profile show thanks to the live environment on Tuesday nights. This is also the last Smackdown After Mania, as next year we’ll probably be treated to “Smackdown Before Mania” two days before the big event.

Greg’s Take

Another night, another #1 for WWE! I’ll say it a million times–can’t compare years gone by. Interesting note: Smackdown performed better than FOX’s 9 PM show, Mental Samurai, which drew 1.8 million viewers. FOX knows what they’re doing getting WWE.
