WWE SmackDown Viewership Passes 1 Million On FS1

The October 29 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown averaged 1,032,000 viewers on FS1, the highest rating the show has ever done on the channel.

As previously noted, the most recent episode of SmackDown aired on FS1 due to game three of the World Series being shown on FOX but, according to Showbuzz Daily, that didn't stop WWE's blue brand from pulling in a decent number.

SmackDown's 1,032,000 viewers on FS1 last Friday is a significant increase of 19.2 per cent from the last episosde that aired on the channel, on October 15, and is the best viewership registered by WWE on FS1 out of the five shows that have aired on the channel since WWE's patnership with FOX started in 2019.

In terms of key demographics, SmackDown also pulled in a 0.29 rating in the crucial 18-49 category.

The rating that SmackDown pulled is even more impressive when considering that the most recent episode did not have Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar or Becky Lynch advertised or on the show. The last SmackDown on FS1 had all three.
