On the other hand, the May 29 episode of WWE SmackDown experienced a sharper decline. The broadcast averaged 1.096 million viewers on the USA Network, marking a 12.9% drop compared to the prior week. This represents the lowest audience for the show since February 13.

SmackDown also posted a 0.23 rating in the 18–49 demographic, down 20.7% week over week. This tied the lowest rating in that key demo since January 23.

Despite the drop, SmackDown still finished fourth on cable for the night. The show went head-to-head with Game 5 of the NHL Eastern Conference Final, which likely impacted its overall audience share.

The episode was also notable for its international broadcast situation. SmackDown aired from Barcelona, Spain, and was taped earlier in the evening, with global availability through Netflix adding another layer to its distribution strategy.
