Mega heel Bayley

She should be a mega heel by default since she robbed us of Kairi for a few years.

Nah, Nia nearly killed her, she said "F-it" went back to Stardom, but is back because Stardom's booking the past year has been f'ed over due to outside forces who didn't want to use her as much as she wanted.

 

[Rosie]

*sniffle* I wanted SLK to get her win back

 

[Dale]

I was joking

 

[Gentleman Jake]

Man Aldis must of been like please RKO me. Now he’s really a WWE talent

Friday night's episode of WWE SmackDown averaged 2.044 million viewers on Fox, down 7.3 percent from two weeks ago when the show last aired on that network. SmackDown had been moved to FS1 on November 24 due to Fox's college football coverage.

This is SmackDown's lowest viewership total for a Fox episode since August 26, 2022.

SmackDown drew a 0.59 rating in the 18-49 demo. That's down 4.8 percent from two weeks ago but ties the second-highest rating SmackDown has done in that category since October 20.

The show faced much stronger competition than usual. College football's Pac-12 championship game averaged more than seven million viewers and drew a 1.72 rating in 18-49 based on the overnights. Final ratings for that game are not currently available.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for Fox airings of SmackDown, as well as the 10-week averages in both categories. This week's show was down 10 percent in overall viewers and down 1.7 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
