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.
