Friday’s WWE SmackDown drew 2,148,000 viewers on FOX, up from the previous week’s 2,143,000 viewers. That week’s episode was notable for being a taped delay and not live show due to it taking place in France that night.
It drew a 0.60 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from the previous week’s 0.58 rating.
Last year’s SmackDown on May 5, 2023 drew 2,059,000 viewers and a 0.52 rating. The May 6, 2022 episode drew 1,998,000 viewers.
