WWE Friday Night Smackdown draws 1.342M viewers

September 23, 2025 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew 1.342M viewers on Friday night on the USA Network per Programming Insider. The telecast drew a 0.37 in the A18-49 demo.

The telecast was the go-home show prior to the big Wrestlepalooza event on ESPN’s new digital network. Before everyone put down their $29.99 for it, we had Brock Lesnar go crazy the night before. He laid out Corey Graves and the beginning of the show. The former wrestler took the bump well. The show also set up the Cody Rhodes-Drew McIntyre match for the next day.

The telecast was second overall in the 25-54 demo and 18-49 demos.

Wrestlenomics added that it was up 2% from the previous week.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
