The combination of the opening game of the World Series and the first night of the new NBA season were bad news for Smackdown Live, which saw ratings tumble to the lowest point since the show moved to the USA Network from SyFy. Overall, the show finished with a 0.69 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.13 million viewers, which left it fourth overall among original cable programming for the evening, behind the World Series, 2 NBA games, and TNT’s Inside The NBA post-game show.
