This week's the Raw rating were improved going into the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and Smackdown's at least stayed the same. For the last two weeks the ratings have hovered just below 2.2 million average viewers and according to Showbuzz Daily that was true for this week as well. For the third week in a row, Smackdown was at the top of the ratings for Tuesday original cable shows.
As with last week, WWE benefited from being on a night without the NBA Playoffs. The finals of the playoffs are now over and Smackdown reassumed the number one rank among the 18 to 49 year old demographics.
On YouTube, there were five videos had more than 500 thousand views. Those videos were mostly matches but also the opening segment. The videos ranked in performance are as followed. The main event, Samoa Joe versus Rusev, Jeff Hardy versus Shinsuke Nakamura in their first ever match up, the opening segment where Paige held a "summit", and Daniel Bryan versus Shelton Benjamin.
