The live WWE Super Smackdown on Tuesday, August 30 scored a 2.20 rating and averaged 3.2 million viewers.
On Friday nights in 2011, Smackdown has averaged a 1.88 rating and 2.87 million viewers.
WWE and Syfy will be pleased with the number, especially scoring within one rating point of Monday's WWE Raw (3.14 rating) on USA Network, which has a stronger cable TV presence than Syfy.
Despite being live and not on Fridays, the Smackdown episode was not the highest-rated of the year. The February 25 episode following The Rock's big return scored a 2.31 rating. The Smackdown following WrestleMania scored a 2.10 rating.
-- Although not an apples-to-apples comparison, the previous live Smackdown special on a Tuesday following Raw on December 21, 2010 on USA Network scored a 2.53 rating and averaged 3.81 million viewers.
-- On cable TV Tuesday night, Smackdown ranked #5 in overall viewers, but ranked #1 in its time period in all adult male demographics. Smackdown was in the Top 5 among males 12-17. Among female viewers, Smackdown was in the top rankings on cable TV among women 18-49 during the first hour.

Syfy issued a press release Wednesday touting the success of WWE's live Super Smackdown episode Tuesday night. The headline reads: "Syfy is #1 in cable primetime with WWE's SuperSmackdown Live on August 30."
Syfy added that Smackdown topped networks Fox and CW, drawing more than three million total viewers.
The press release includes comparisons to Smackdown's typical performance on Friday nights, which is not an apples-to-apples comparison being a taped show a few days removed from Raw and being on the weakest TV night during the week.
Also in the press release is a list of wrestlers appearing on the show, which was the same list Syfy used in a press release before Smackdown to announce the live special. Included in the list are Cody Rhodes and Brodus Clay, who did not appear on Smackdown.
-- The following is Syfy's press release:
NEW YORK – August 31, 2011 – Syfy’s first ever WWE Smackdown live special, SuperSmackdown Live, pinned 3.3 million total viewers last night, Tuesday, August 30 from 8-10PM/ET. The program leg locked 1.45 million Adults 18-49 and 1.3 million Adults 25-54. The performance put Syfy in the #1 spot in Cable Primetime for the night ahead of the #2 cable finisher by 45% in Adults 18-49 and 29% in Adults 25-54. Syfy also topped both FOX and the CW from 8PM to 10PM ET/PT in Adults 18-49 and 25-54.
Other ratings highlights:
SuperSmackdown Live was Syfy’s highest WWE Smackdown performer ever among Adults 18-49 and the highest performance in Adults 25-54 since April 2011.
SuperSmackdown Live on Syfy was the #2 cable telecast of the day in Adults 25-54 and the #3 Primetime cable telecast in Adults 18-49.
SuperSmackdown Live topped the last live airing of WWE Smackdown – the October 1, 2010 premiere on Syfy – by 47% in Adults 18-49 and 21% in Adults 25-54.
SuperSmackdown Live was the #1 Primetime telecast in Cable for the night with male viewers overall and with Men 18-49 and 25-54.

| I think if they moved SD back to Thursdays, ratings would improve because more people will be home to watch it. | |
