The ratings have been revealed for the most recent edition of WWE SmackDown which aired on December 9, 2022.
The episode featured a birthday celebration for WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, who closed the show my teaming with Gable Steveson to spray Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) with milk, in a segment that was reminiscent of the Attitude Era’s “Milkamania” segment (in which Angle also starred).
It looks as though Milkamania is still running wild, as the show saw its highest rating since September.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, the show drew 2,306,000 total viewers and saw a 0.57 in the key 18 – 49 demographic.
The show saw a huge improvement over the previous week’s episode, which only pulled in 902,000 total viewers and a 0.25 in the key demographic.
However, this is likely due to the show being moved from its usual slot for the evening and instead being aired on FS1.
That being said, the show was still an improvement over the most recent episode to air on its usual channel (November 25), which saw 2,166,000 total viewers and a 0.54 in the key demographic.
