John Cena’s return to SmackDown on September 1st proved to be a huge success for WWE, as the show garnered impressive ratings and viewership numbers. According to Wrestlenomics, the episode drew in a total of 2,443,000 viewers and achieved a .65 rating among the coveted 18-49 year old demographic.
This marked a significant increase from the previous week’s episode, which featured a tribute to Bray Wyatt and Terry Fun. Despite the drop in numbers, SpoilerTV reports that SmackDown still emerged as the highest-rated show of the night. These ratings were the highest the blue brand has seen since July 7th and surpassed the viewership numbers from the same time last year.
John Cena’s return to SmackDown has undoubtedly generated a lot of excitement among fans. The 16-time WWE World Champion is set to have a two-month run with the company, and his presence is expected to have a positive impact on viewership and ratings.
This Friday’s episode of SmackDown will be Cena’s only Friday off until November, and it will be interesting to see how the show performs in his absence. However, fans can expect more exciting moments and matches featuring Cena in the coming weeks.
