Friday’s WWE SmackDown drew 1,096,000 viewers on USA Network, down from the prior week show’s 1,258,000 viewers. That week’s show was notable for airing at an earlier than usual start time of 2PM EST on Netflix internationally and being on a tape delay in the United States due to it airing live in Italy.
It drew a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from the prior week’s 0.29 rating.
Last year’s SmackDown on May 30, 2025 drew 1,383,000 viewers and a 0.34 rating on USA Network. The May 31, 2024 episode drew 2,310,000 viewers on FOX.
