The latest episode of WWE SmackDown, which served as the final build to Elimination Chamber, drew an average of 2.383 million viewers on Fox. This marks a 3.4 percent decline from the previous week and represents the show’s lowest viewership total since January 20th.
Despite the dip in viewership, SmackDown still managed to lead all of television in the 18-49 demographic, with a rating of 0.58. However, this is down 9.4 percent from last week and marks the show’s lowest rating since January 20th.
In the 18-34 demographic, SmackDown was the top-rated English-language broadcast network program, with a rating of 0.34. However, the show was surpassed by NBA All-Star weekend coverage on cable and a Telemundo program in this age group.
On a positive note, compared to the same week in 2022, SmackDown’s overall viewership was up 9.7 percent, while its 18-49 rating was up 7.4 percent. This marks the fourth consecutive week in which SmackDown has seen year-over-year increases in viewership and the demo.
