Last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown saw a boost in its key demo rating despite a drop in overall viewership.
According to a report from Programming Insider, the June 28 show drew a 0.41 rating in the 18–49 demographic and 1,450,000 total viewers. That marks a 7.9% increase in the demo from the previous week’s 0.38, but a 4.9% decrease in viewership from 1,524,000.
The 0.41 demo rating was SmackDown’s highest since the June 6 episode, which scored a 0.42. Although the total audience dipped week-over-week, it remained above the 1,401,000 viewers from two weeks ago. The show also topped all of Friday night’s programming in the 18–49 demo.
So far in 2025, SmackDown is averaging a 0.437 demo rating and 1,502,000 viewers. That’s down from the same point in 2024, when the show averaged a 0.654 demo rating and 2,324,000 viewers on FOX.
