The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw a drop in ratings.
According to PWTorch, the show averaged 2.309 million viewers on FOX, a decrease from 2.561 million viewers.
The show received a 0.62 rating in the crucial 18-49 demographic, down from a 0.76 rating a week ago.
The ratings were expected to be lower because the previous week’s episode featured Roman Reigns in the Trial of the Tribal Chief segment. It was the highest key demo viewership since December 2020, when they had a Christmas lead-in with an NFL game. With that exception, it was the highest since March 2020.
Among the matches on the show were Women’s World Champion Asuka vs. Bianca Belair, Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) vs. The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland & Sheamus), Bayley vs. Zelina Vega, AJ Styles vs. Santos Escobar vs. Butch vs. Grayson Waller.
Last year, the show drew 2.077 million viewers with a 0.47 demo rating in the 18-49 demographic.
