WWE Smackdown Ratings For 4/9/19: #1 In Cable
How did Smackdown perform in the ratings?
How did the post WWE WrestleMania Smackdown perform in the ratings?
WWE held the post-WrestleMania Smackdown, a higher profile show thanks to the live environment on Tuesday nights. This is also the last Smackdown After Mania, as next year we’ll probably be treated to “Smackdown Before Mania” two days before the big event.
WWE Smackdown 4/9/19 Ratings
- Both hours – .78 rating (#1 in the 18-49 demographic, 1.01 rating), 2.199 million viewers
Ratings data courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily.
The lead out, Miz & Mrs, finished #5 for the night with just under a million viewers (997,000).

Greg’s Take
Another night, another #1 for WWE! I’ll say it a million times–can’t compare years gone by. Interesting note: Smackdown performed better than FOX’s 9 PM show, Mental Samurai, which drew 1.8 million viewers. FOX knows what they’re doing getting WWE.

Andrew Yang: WWE Stars Should Be SAG‑AFTRA Members, Echoing Kevin Nash
Andrew Yang weighed in after Kevin Nash suggested on his Kliq This podcast that WWE performers should consider joining SAG‑AFTRA amid reports WWE/TKO has asked some talent to accept pay cuts. Responding to a Cultaholic post, Yang wrote, “Nash is right — WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”
Yang has repeatedly criticized WWE’s treatment of talent and the company’s classification of wrestlers as independent contractors, pointing to past disputes like the 2020 Twitch policy that briefly saw Zelina Vega leave the company. He also took aim at recent creative decisions, arguing earlier this year that increased celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and corporate priorities have sidelined the core wrestling performers.

Violent J: JCW aiming to expand beyond Juggalos, pursue “new goal”
Violent J told The Bryan and Vinny Show that Juggalo Championship Wrestling is “hungry for a new goal,” with plans to broaden its appeal beyond ICP’s fanbase and compete with other indy promotions. He said JCW is getting serious about being taken seriously in the wrestling world, mixing tongue‑in‑cheek entertainment with legitimate in‑ring variety so the product can attract general wrestling fans, not just Juggalos.
JCW will continue to lean into its over‑the‑top roots while adding diverse wrestling styles to reach a wider audience; Violent J emphasized he wants “a little bit of everything” so every fan sees something they enjoy. Episodes of JCW Lunacy air Thursdays on the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel, and the promotion recently posted the full StrangleMania show from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
