WWE Smackdown Hits Two-Month Ratings & Viewership High For Last Week’s Show

Last week’s episode of WWE Smackdown saw a jump in the ratings and viewership, hitting its highest point in over two months. Friday’s episode score a 0.32 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 1.352 million viewers per Wrestlenomics. Those numbers are up 18.5% and 8.2% respectively from the previous week’s 0.27 demo rating and audience of 1.250 million.

The demo rating and audience were both the highest for the show since the August 7th episode had a 0.35 and 1.47 million viewers. Details on other ratings aren’t yet available, so no word on what topped the night.

As a reminder, Nielsen made an adjustment to its Big Data + Panel numbers in late January, and even the original Big Data + Panel ratings makes ratings difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said, WWE Smackdown is currently averaging a 0.284 demo rating and 1.241 million viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.413 and 1.447 million for the same time period in 2025.
