Match-wise, SmackDown's biggest attractions were Money in the Bank qualifiers pitting Naomi, Nia Jax, and Jade Cargill against each other on the men's side, and Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Jacob Fatu amongst the men.

John Cena and Cody Rhodes' returns to WWE have not significantly boosted the ratings for "WWE SmackDown," despite their high profiles and the anticipation surrounding their comebacks. The show's viewership has remained flat, with the latest episode drawing an average of 2.268 million viewers, slightly down from the previous week's 2.309 million. This lack of growth in viewership is attributed to less competition from other networks, as major shows like "The Voice" and "Young Sheldon" were not airing new episodes during the same time slot. Despite the presence of big names and compelling storylines, including Cena's involvement in a major feud and Rhodes' return after a long absence, "SmackDown" has struggled to capitalize on these factors to increase its audience numbers.
