Viewership numbers are in for the April 24 episode of WWE SmackDown, showing a decline from the previous week.
According to Wrestlenomics, the show drew 1.267 million viewers on USA Network. That figure is down from the 1.580 million viewers recorded on April 17.
In the key 18 to 49 demographic, SmackDown posted a 0.32 rating. This is also a decrease compared to the 0.42 rating the show delivered the previous Friday.
Despite the drop, SmackDown still performed well in the nightly cable rankings. The show finished second overall on cable for the night, trailing only coverage of the NFL Draft on ESPN.
The WWE SmackDown April 24 viewership decline reflects a week-to-week change following the post-WrestleMania episode. The previous week’s show typically benefits from increased interest after WWE’s biggest annual event, which can impact comparisons.
SmackDown remains one of the top-performing weekly programs on cable, even with the decrease in both total audience and demographic rating.
