The ratings are in for the latest edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. The show averaged 2.119 million viewers on FOX, which is up from 1.145 million viewers last week on FS1, according to Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics.
In the all-important 18-49 demographic, the show did a 0.58 rating, up from the 0.35 rating a week ago. The show a week ago was moved off FOX due to the MLB World Series.
United States Championship weigh-in with Rey Mysterio & Logan Paul, Bianca Belair vs. Bayley, Ridge Holland & Butch vs. Kit Wilson & Elton Prince, Kevin Owens vs. Austin Theory, and more were featured. This was the go-home edition of SmackDown for the Crown Jewel PLE.
