- Last night's WWE SmackDown ranked #1 among series & specials for the night in Nielsen's social media TV ratings. SmackDown had a total of 242,000 interactions on Facebook and Twitter this week – 136,000 unique interactions on Facebook and 106,000 unique interactions on Twitter. This is down from last week's episode, which had a total of 297,000 interactions – 194,000 on Facebook and 103,000 interactions on Twitter. As noted, Nielsen recently changed the breakdown of the Twitter and Facebook stats for shows as they no longer release the number of unique interactions and authors, just the total number of interactions.
