Hour one drew 1.797 million viewers, then hour two went down to 1.756 million viewers.
SmackDown also drew an average of 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which was tied for #2 for the night with The Wall and Shark Tank. Dateline was at the top with a 0.5 rating.
If the number holds up, it would be down 18.3% in viewership from last Friday's SmackDown episode, which drew an average of 2.174 million viewers with a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
This would also be the lowest rated SmackDown since the brand moved to FOX last October as the Fourth of July holiday weekend is likely a contributor to the drop. Click here for our Viewership Tracker.
- At Smackdown, WWE Intercontinental Champion AJ Styles retained his title against Drew Gulak. After the match, Styles spoke with WWE and he said there was never a doubt about him keeping the championship.
"Never a doubt, you see that last match I had with Gulak, it was a fluke," Styles said. "Everybody knows that! Everybody. If I do what I do best — and that's get in that ring and perform — I cannot be beat. I think most of these guys are jealous because I'm going to have this championship for as long as I want."
