WWE SmackDown Ratings For July 21 Episode Revealed

Friday Night SmackDown didn't air on its regular station in the United States for the July 21 episode and WWE's blue brand was moved to FS1 for last week's show.

SmackDown has been pushed to FS1 on nine occasions since FOX became the brand's TV partner in 2019 and the July 21 show drew the company's best ratings on the channel. The July 21 edition of SmackDown averaged 1.230 million viewers and a 0.36 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, estimated to be 474,000 viewers. 

SmackDown peaked for the final 15 minutes that saw Jey Uso and Roman Reigns agree to a Tribal Combat Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam. The final quarter-hour averaged 1.482 million total viewers and 606,000 in the 18-49 demo, according to Wrestlenomics. 

Prior to July 21, WWE SmackDown's best ratings on FS1 were registered for the December 18, 2020 show that averaged 1.033 million total viewers and a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demo.

SmackDown usually airs on FOX but the show was moved due to the network's coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup that saw the United States defeat Vietnam 3-0. The broadcast averaged 5.261 million viewers.
