Friday Night SmackDown remains WWE’s top show, pulling in a large audience each week. The latest ratings for the May 10th episode are in, and it’s a mixed bag!
Key Demographic Up Despite Viewership Dip
The May 10th SmackDown drew 2,128,000 viewers, a slight decrease from the previous week’s 2,148,000 viewers. However, there’s a positive sign! This week’s show scored a 0.62 rating in the important 18-49 age group, which is an increase from last week’s 0.60 rating.
The 18-49 demographic is especially important to advertisers, so this bump is a good sign for SmackDown’s commercial appeal.
This episode aired right after the Backlash pay-per-view and featured some big moments. Fans saw Logan Paul revealed as Cody Rhodes’ opponent for King and Queen of the Ring, and the qualifying matches for that tournament also took place.
With these exciting developments, SmackDown managed to keep its core audience engaged despite the slight viewership dip. It will be interesting to see if the show can maintain this momentum in the coming weeks.
