Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, ratings info for both WWE and UFC has been delayed until Wednesday morning.
SmackDown ratings are expected to be available Wednesday morning and then, things should be caught up as normal.
As of now, Nielsen only has cable ratings updated only through Friday.
WWE Raw is coming off a strong number last week after the shocking Bill Goldberg quick victory over Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. This Monday’s show was built around the Sasha Banks/Charlotte WWE Women’s title match, and how well they kept that third hour audience is going to be a key learning for all.
On the UFC side of things, there is no reason to expect anything special from Saturday’s Melbourne, Australia, show that was headlined by Robert Whittaker vs. Derek Brunson as anything over 750,000 viewers should be considered a success. The promotion returns to FS1 this Saturday for a flyweight title fight featuring Demetrious Johnson defending against the winner of this season of TUF, formally announced Wednesday night.
