The Superstar Shakeup dropped ratings compared to the week after WrestleMania.
According to ShowBuzz Daily, Smackdown had an average of 2,796,000 viewers this week which was the second night of the Superstar Shakeup. The ratings have been up and down the last few weeks floating between 2,467,000 and 2,952,000 viewers. Last week's Smackdown was the high of that stretch which was expected on the Smackdown after WrestleMania. Last week's Raw was also higher than this week's Raw to match the pattern of the two weeks following WrestleMania.
The WWE did go head-to-head against a NBA Playoff game on Tuesday which performed slightly better than Smackdown in ratings and demographics. WWE beat every show not showing a basketball game on Tuesday night in the rankings.
On YouTube, three videos reached over one million viewers in less than twenty-four hours. The short match between Jey Uso and Luke Harper had 1.4 million viewers, Jeff Hardy showing up on Smackdown did 2.4 million views, and the main event match reached 1 million views. A few videos featuring Asuka, Samoa Joe, Big Cass, Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and Shelton Benjamin are approaching 1 million views.
