WWE Friday Night Smackdown finished with an average of 1.267 million viewers for USA Network, according to ProgrammingInsider.com. The number was down compared to the previous episode’s 1.58 million average viewership.
Powell’s POV: Friday’s Smackdown finished with a 0.32 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from the previous week’s 0.42 rating. Smackdown ran opposite the second night of the NFL Draft. One year earlier, the April 25, 2025, Smackdown averaged 1.599 million viewers and a 0.51 rating for USA Network for the WrestleMania 41 fallout show.
