People should look at WWE on Sky Sports. WWE is consistenly under 100k for Raw and Smackdown. The last viewing figures for Sky Sports had 86,000 watching Raw live and only 54,000 watching Smackdown live. None of the repeats made any of the top 10s. The lowest of all Sky Sports channels being 17,000.
In other words even though 86,000 watched Raw live and 54,000 watched Smackdown live. Out of all those repeats Sky Sports show and any other WWE shows they have, none of them got more than 17,000 viewers which is very very low. That right there tells you for that week ending December 4th the WWE had at the very most only 86,000 viewers in the UK. Not even 100,000.
If we go to the week prior Raw and Smackdown again fail to hit 100,000 viewers but we see a repeat of Smackdown gets 13,000 viewers. It's not as if WWE are doing great on Sky Sports.
So TNA does have more viewers in the UK than the WWE and both companies are lucky to get that.”

You have to bear in mind though that raw and smackdown are behind an expensive paywall of sky sports. Tna isn't. If both were on freeview it would undoubtedly be a different story
