After failing to draw 100,000 viewers last week, this week's edition of WWE Backstage saw its viewership go up.
According to Showbuzz Daily, the May 12 edition of WWE Backstage averaged 173,000 viewers, which is more than double what the May 5 episode reportedly drew, which was 75,000 viewers. In the 18-49 demographic, this week's episode drew a 0.05 rating, which is good for 119th best on cable for the day.
This week's episode featured the return of CM Punk and also had both Ricky Steamboat and Otis on as special guests. Otis won the Men's Money In The Bank ladder match earlier this month. WWE Backstage has been airing in a quarantine format with hosts and guests calling in live from their homes.
