• “SmackDown Slams Competition” – FOX Sports

FOX Sports issued the following press release for last week’s Super SmackDown from Madison Square Garden:

SMACKDOWN SLAMS COMPETITION, SCORES BEST SHOW SINCE JANUARY 2021

“2,383,000 viewers tuned in for last week’s FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN ON FOX (Sept. 10, 2021)

– Friday’s broadcast was the most-watched edition of SMACKDOWN since Jan. 22, 2021, and was up +11% over September 2020’s average viewership (2,155,000)

– SMACKDOWN was the most-watched telecast of the day in the coveted A18-49 demographic

Top Markets:

– Birmingham (4.4/7)
– Richmond (4.2/8)
– Memphis (3.7/7)
– Tulsa (3.7/7)
– Louisville (3.5/7)”

SmackDown ranked #1 in all 3 main demographics for the 5th week in a row.

WWE also made the most money from ticket sales in the history of SmackDown with last week’s episode.

FOX most likely issued this press release because TNT does this all the time for AEW Dynamite, with their latest press release being last week, where Dynamite defeated WWE RAW in the 18-49 demo ratings by a very small margin.
