WWE SmackDown Encore Overnight Ratings

Saturday's encore episode of SmackDown drew an average of 578,000 viewers in the overnight ratings, according to Spoiler TV. The first hour drew 656,000 viewers and hour two dropped to 499,000 viewers.

The episode began at 8 pm ET and went head-to-head with AEW Dynamite. The timeslot was open due to it originally being scheduled for Game 7 between the Astros and Red Sox. That series ended in six games, so FOX moved WWE in to fill the gap.

SmackDown also drew an average of 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic. College Football on NBC and ABC led the night.

The overnight ratings for Friday's SmackDown was 2.101 million viewers with a 0.50 in the 18-49 demographic. This was up big from the previous week as SmackDown was on FS1.

As noted, the fast nationals for Friday's AEW Rampage was 515,000 viewers.

Final ratings will be out early next week.
