WWE Backstage didn’t leave 2019 on the best of terms. The program’s final show of the decade pulled in a measly 97,000 viewers, the third-lowest number of viewers since the show premiered, which is nearly half of its peak viewership.
Is the holiday to blame? Hard to say, as the Christmas Eve show drew a healthy number at 153,000 viewers.
The show peaked on Nov. 19 with CM Punk’s debut, pulling in 180,000 viewers, two weeks after it’s record low viewership on Nov. 6 at 50,000.
This week’s episode featured a special highlight of the top 5 matches of 2019.
