Last night’s WWE SmackDown! did a 3.2 rating with a 6.0 share. UPN came in fourth from the big networks last night. The 18-49 demographics was good news for WWE, as they came in second, trailing only to CBS’ Big Brother.
WWE.com has removed the video from SmackDown! featuring the “terrorist” storyline with Undertaker and Muhammad Hassan, as of 2:30 PM ET.
Something to clarify here, since there’s been a lot of feedback on this topic – It should be clarrified that WWE sends the ready tape for SmackDown! to UPN late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. The attcks on London took place Thursday morning, when, as reported by several sources, the final copy of SmackDown! was already in UPN’s posession, not in WWE’s. It wasn’t a WWE decision to go with it, it was a UPN decision whether to air the segment or not. UPN went with it. Surely, WWE could have influenced their mind, though. Just wanted to clarify that.
