What the drop means for SmackDown

SmackDown giving back some of the audience it gained the previous week suggests the April 3 spike did not fully hold for a second straight Friday. Even so, the show still stayed above 1.4 million viewers, which keeps it in a solid range heading into the next round of weekly tracking.

The YouTube numbers also point to where viewer interest was concentrated, with angles involving Rhea Ripley, Randy Orton, Pat McAfee, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre leading the way after the broadcast.
