Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown averaged 2.408 million viewers on Fox, up one percent from the previous week. It's the third-highest audience total for the show in 2023 so far.

SmackDown topped all of television with a 0.62 rating in the 18-49 demo, almost doubling the next highest rated show on the major broadcast networks. That's up 6.9 percent from last week and is also the show's third-highest rating of the year to date.

SmackDown also topped all of TV with a 0.41 rating in the 18-34 demo.

As compared to the same week in 2022, SmackDown was up 13.9 percent in total viewers and up 8.8 percent in 18-49. It's the fifth straight week the show has had year-over-year growth in both categories.

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 up 1.3 percent in total viewers and up 6.9 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.

I’ve said it before, a lot of wrestling seems to have a built in fan base. Which is why the numbers are almost always in the same ballpark(unless you’re promoting something big)

Until football comes back and the NCAA tourney starts, I definitely think this is about what SD will do every week.
