Preliminary Viewership Way Up For August 25th WWE SmackDown Featuring Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk Tributes
The preliminary viewership numbers are in for the August 25th episode of WWE SmackDown on FOX, and they show a significant increase from the previous week. The show, which featured special tributes to the late Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt, drew 2.505 million viewers, according to SpoilerTV.
This is a substantial jump from the previous week’s preliminary number of 2.233 million viewers. The show also scored a rating of 0.71 in the key demographics, making it the top-rated program of the night on cable.
It should be noted that last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown was preempted in some markets due to NFL preseason football. However, with preseason football coming to an end, these games should no longer impact the blue brand’s numbers going forward.
Full ratings for the episode will be released next week, providing a more comprehensive picture of its success. But for now, it’s clear that the tribute to Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt resonated with viewers and drew in a larger audience.
