The show received a 0.73 rating in the crucial 18-49 demographic, up from a 0.52 rating a week ago. This was the follow-up show to the Night of Champions PLE, and it included a celebration for Roman Reigns holding the Universal Championship for over 1,000 days.
SmackDown achieved its highest total viewership since December 30, 2022, as well as its highest key demo rating since December 25, 2020.
Last year, the show drew 1.939 million viewers and a 0.47 demo rating in the 18-49 demographic.
