WWE SmackDown Hits Record Low Viewership Despite John Cena Segment

The Aug 29 episode of WWE SmackDown drew 1.147 million viewers its lowest non-preempted number ever. Down from 1.258M the week prior, the show posted a 0.28 demo rating, trailing only ESPN’s college football. Meanwhile, Zayn’s U.S. Title win hit 2.2M views & Cena’s promo at 997K on YT. Even so, Cena’s nearing retirement with under 8 shows was meant to boost cards, but impact is low.
