WWE Smackdown ratings: The Final numbers for the August 23 edition of Smackdown

The August 23 episode of WWE Smackdown scored a 1.90 rating, up from last week's 1.83 rating. The show averaged 2.572 million viewers, up from last week's 2.400 million viewers.

Shore's Slant: Smackdown had a run where they were over 2.0 ratings, but the show has been sub 2.0 for a while now. Still, it is a good number for WWE and SyFy, and the show has delivered fairly consistently in the creative department recently.
