Friday's WWE SmackDown, the go-home show for Night of Champions,
averaged 2.158 million viewers on Fox. That's up 1.2 percent from the previous week and is the best audience total for the show since April 28.
In the 18-49 demo, SmackDown led all of television with a 0.52 rating. That's down 1.9 percent from last week and ties the lowest rating the show has done in that category since September 16 of last year.
SmackDown also topped all English-language programming with a 0.31 rating in the 18-34 demo, although it did trail one show on Univision.
This was the first Friday in the last couple of months that SmackDown did not face major sports competition, and most network programming was also reruns. SmackDown actually finished second in total viewers among all television on the day, which may have never happened in history.
As compared to the same week in 2022, SmackDown was up 14.9 percent in total viewers and up 20.9 percent in 18-49.
Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for SmackDown, as well as the 10-week averages in both categories. This week's show was down 4.4 percent in overall viewers and down 11.9 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
