While the fans also saw a new champion crowned with Sami Zayn beating Carmelo Hayes to win the U.S. title, the show failed to do good numbers for WWE. The Triple H-led creative team has been under fire for its decisions, and the recent news won’t help their cause..
On Cagematch, this week’s episode of SmackDown received a shockingly low rating of 1.67, making it one of the worst-rated WWE shows in recent memory. Jonathan Coachman, who worked as a commentator for the Stamford-based promotion in the 2000s, took to X to note the rating was deserved as it was a bad show.
“You get what you deserve. Good shows rate. Bad shows don’t. 🤷🏾♂️” he wrote.
Notably, SmackDown had seen an increase in viewership last week, averaging 1.439 million viewers on the USA Network.
Two WWE matches were made official for WrestleMania 42 on SmackDown
This week’s episode of SmackDown saw two matches being made official for WrestleMania 42.
Earlier in the night, general manager Nick Aldis told Sami Zayn that he doesn’t have a spot for him at the Show of Shows unless something changes.
After Zayn became the new US champion, Aldis confirmed that he will defend the title against Trick Williams in Las Vegas. The night also saw a heated exchange between Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre.
This followed from their brawl last week, and things looked set to escalate again. However, Nick Aldis diffused the tension and announced that the two rivals will face each other in an Unsanctioned match at WrestleMania 42.
