Last Friday’s Money in the Bank fallout edition of WWE SmackDown on USA were virtually identical to the prior week.

The October 16 show brought in 1.327 million viewers, down ever so slightly from the prior week’s 1.352 million, while the 18-49 key demo rating remained at 0.32 for the second straight week.

Both numbers were above the show’s ten-week rolling ratings (1.277 million and 0.29).

It featured a face-to-face confrontation between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, Rey Fenix defending the AAA Cruiserweight title against Ricky Starks, grudge matches between Paige and Nikki Bella and R-Truth and Damian Priest, and Rhodes vs. Baron Corbin.

As has been the case for several months, it was up against college football competition.

Biggest file in the book, and the file is the problem. They had Ospreay’s time off and the Wrestlepalooza matches. They also had Vaquer hurt when she said she was not. Almost half the items never finished, and the miss pile is larger than anyone else’s. A podcast aside is not a report. If another site turns that aside into a news item, the mark stays here only when the claim was theirs.
