WWE SmackDown saw a slight increase in viewership for its July 24 episode on USA Network. According to Programming Insider, the show drew 1.253 million viewers, up from 1.243 million the previous week on July 17. The change reflects a stable audience with a small upward movement.
In the 18 to 49 demographic, the show also improved. SmackDown recorded a 0.23 rating, compared to 0.21 the week before. This indicates a modest gain in the key audience group advertisers focus on.
Despite these increases, SmackDown ranked second on cable for the night. The WNBA All-Star festivities secured the top position, placing WWE’s weekly program just behind it.
