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.
