Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown averaged 2.094 million viewers on Fox, nearly identical to the 2.097 million the show averaged the previous week. It's the lowest audience for a Fox airing of SmackDown since May 5.

Like last week, SmackDown was preempted in several markets due to preseason NFL games. This will continue for one more week.

SmackDown led all of network television with a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demo, which is the same rating the show did last week. It nearly doubled the next closest competition on Friday night.

This is tied for SmackDown's lowest 18-49 demo rating on Fox since May 26.

As compared to the same week in 2022, SmackDown's overall viewership was up 0.5 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 17 percent. It marks the 29th straight week the show has had a year-over-year increase in the key demo.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for SmackDown, along with the 10-week averages in both categories. This week's show was down 11.5 percent in overall viewers and down 15.4 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
