WrestleNomics reports that last Friday night’s WWE WrestlePalooza go-home edition of SmackDown on the USA Network drew an average of 1.342 million viewers, with a 0.37 rating in the key 18-49 demographic.
The numbers reflect a 1.98% increase from the prior week’s 1.316 million viewers, while holding steady with last week’s 0.37 demo rating. However, both figures remain down from two weeks ago, when SmackDown reached 1.85 million viewers and a 0.51 demo rating. Despite the decline, the show still ranked #2 for the night across broadcast and cable in the key demo.
So far in 2025, SmackDown is averaging 1.475 million viewers with a 0.425 demo rating, compared to 2.242 million viewers and a 0.630 demo rating at this time in 2024.
The episode was headlined by a segment featuring SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, "The Scottish Warrior" Drew McIntyre and Undisputed WWE Champion "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes.
