WWE Friday Night Smackdown finished with an average of 1.038 million viewers for USA Network, according to ProgrammingInsider.com. The number was down a tick compared to the previous episode’s 1.089 million average viewership.
Powell’s POV: Friday’s Smackdown finished with a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from the previous week’s 0.24 rating. The good news for WWE is that Smackdown avoided NBA and NHL playoff competition. The bad news for WWE is that the World Cup dominated the night with over 18 million viewers for Fox. One year earlier, the June 13, 2025, Smackdown averaged 1.401 million viewers and a 0.38 rating for USA Network.
