WWE Smackdown on USA Network
Fri, Jul. 4, 2025: 8:00 to 10:00 pm
1,166,000 viewers (P2+)
P18-49 rating: 0.32

Reported earlier by Programming Insider.

Smackdown was #1 on cable in primetime in P18-49 and #3 including broadcast. Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks show on NBC took the two top spots.

This was a new all-time low for a non-preemption Smackdown in terms of total viewership. Fourth of July has been a day of record lows in the past. Smackdown episodes preempted on FS1 in recent years have had smaller audiences. The Dec. 29, 2023 episode of Smackdown on Fox, which aired a “Best of” program rather than all new content, had a lower P18-49 rating (0.28).
