Triple Threat chaos and major teases headline a night with mixed ratings


Summary

– WWE SmackDown on March 21 drew 1.459 million viewers, down 7.1% from the previous week

– 18-49 demo rating dropped to 0.39, a 26.9% decrease from March 14

– Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins brawl highlighted the show ahead of WrestleMania 41

Friday Night SmackDown brought the intensity on March 21, but the numbers didn’t reflect the chaos. The episode drew 1.459 million viewers, a 7.1% drop from March 14’s 1.571 million total. Even more notably, the key 18-49 demographic ratings fell sharply from 0.52 to 0.39—a 26.9% decrease.

Despite the viewership decline, the show featured major WrestleMania momentum. Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins clashed in a fiery in-ring confrontation that ended in a brawl, solidifying their high-stakes triple threat showdown.

Another key moment was WWE’s continued teaser for Rey Fenix, signaling the Lucha star’s debut could be imminent. With WrestleMania 41 closing in, SmackDown continues to load up on moments, even if this week’s ratings saw a slide.
