WWE SmackDown (10/24) Viewership Slips Slightly, Still Tops Cable Ratings – The October 24, 2025, episode of WWE SmackDown on USA Network drew 1.147 million viewers, according to Programming Insider. The number marks a small drop from the October 17 broadcast, which brought in 1.180 million viewers.
Despite the dip in total audience, SmackDown’s key demographic performance showed a minor increase. The show earned a 0.29 rating in the 18–49 demo, up from last week’s 0.28. The episode also ranked as the top-rated cable program of the night, maintaining WWE’s strong Friday presence.
SmackDown’s numbers were measured under the new Big Data + Panel methodology, a system that has not been particularly favorable to wrestling ratings across networks. Nevertheless, the show’s placement at the top of cable rankings remains a positive sign for WWE’s ongoing transition to its USA Network run.
On the broadcast front, Game 1 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blues dominated the night overall, pulling in 12.49 million viewers and a massive 2.53 rating in the 18–49 demographic on Fox.
Following the broadcast, WWE’s official YouTube channel saw notable engagement, with several clips from the October 24 show topping the platform’s trending wrestling content. The most-viewed clips from the night include:
