WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event draws best ratings since return

With John Cena, CM Punk, and Logan Paul all competing on the episode, Saturday Night’s Main Event drew the best ratings of its new era last weekend.

The May 24 episode of SNME averaged 1.97 million viewers on NBC, up 24 percent and 32 percent respectively from the last two specials. This only includes viewers watching the show on NBC and not anyone streaming on Peacock.

In the 18-49 demo, Saturday’s episode drew a 0.54 rating on NBC. That’s an increase of 28 percent from the December 2024 special and 64 percent from the January 2025 broadcast.

Jey Uso retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Paul in the main event of the show, getting help from the returning Cody Rhodes fending off Cena’s interference. Cena had defeated R-Truth earlier in the night.

Among the other matches were Punk & Sami Zayn losing to Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker. Plus, Damian Priest defeated Drew McIntyre in a steel cage match and Zelina Vega retained the Women’s United States Championship over Chelsea Green.
