WWE Friday Night SmackDown comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Nov. 7, 2025) with a live show emanating from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, featuring all the fallout from the latest Saturday Night’s Main Event special.

PWTorch reports that WWE SmackDown on November 1 drew 1.141 million viewers viewers on USA Network. This number is up from the 933,000 viewers the show drew on Friday, October 31, which was up against Game 6 of the World Series. Friday’s episode scored a 0.26 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic, up from the 0.20 rating last Friday.

During the April 25 episode of "WWE SmackDown," Green lost the title in a shocking upset loss to Zelina. Giulia ended up pinning Zelina on the June 27 episode of the blue brand. She is officially the longest-reigning champion in the title's young lineage.

Legend’s bio on WWE.com has since been moved from the NXT brand to SmackDown. While Legend has wrestled on the main roster multiple times, including a United States title tournament match on SmackDown last year, this marks the start of her being full time on the main roster.

Jade Cargill dispatched Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night’s Main Event in a quick and decisive title win, effectively squashing Stratton to become the WWE Women’s Champion. On Friday Night SmackDown this week, her celebration went down pretty much in the same way, with her dishing out a short and sweet promo that carried a lot of impact.

SmackDown did finish first on cable. The night overall was topped by Game 6 of the World Series on FOX, which drew 17.429 million viewers and a 3.52 demo rating. Top 5 Most Viewed WWE SmackDown (10/31) Videos on YouTube
