WWE SmackDown Ticks Up to 1.34 Million, No. 1 on Cable in 18–49 for Sept. 19

The show’s demo strength outpaced cable rivals despite only modest week-to-week gains.

Overview

The USA Network telecast posted a 0.37 adults 18–49 rating, matching the prior week, according to Programming Insider.
Total viewers rose slightly from the Sept. 12 episode’s 1.316 million, extending a modest rebound from late August.
High-profile promotion and a Brock Lesnar appearance did not translate into a notable linear ratings spike.
SmackDown led all Friday cable originals in the key demo and trailed only FOX’s Big Ten game, which drew 2.66 million viewers and a 0.58.
Digital engagement ran higher, with Fightful listing a Lesnar–Paul Heyman clip at roughly 1.8 million YouTube views as the night’s top performer.
