According to Wrestlenomics, "SmackDown" averaged 1,379,000 viewers and posted a 0.31 in the key 18-49 demographic. When comparing both categories to the previous week, total viewership increased by 10%, but "SmackDown's" biggest improvement was in the 18-49 demo, with the category growing by 35%. Additionally, this past Friday marks the highest viewership the program has drawn since the April 17 edition of "SmackDown," which was the go-home show for WrestleMania 42. Despite "SmackDown's" recent improvement on the charts, the show's total viewership has dropped by 15% since July 2025. Along with its TV metrics taking a hit over the last 12 months, WWE is also struggling to sell tickets for "SmackDown."
