WWE Friday Night Smackdown draws all-time low

September 3, 2025 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE Friday Night Smackdown on the USA Network drew 1.147M viewers, the lowest rating since moving back to the USA Network. The telecast drew 0.28 (~369K-382K viewers) in the A18-49 demo.

The episode was taped earlier in the day in France as the penultimate show before Sunday’s Clash in Paris. Perhaps the taping (it was live on Netflix overseas) caused the lower ratings since returning to the USA Network and overall the lowest since November 24, 2023.

Per Programming Insider, Smackdown placed third in the A18-49 demo for the night behind college football on ESPN and Fox.
