Headlined by Goldberg’s retirement match, WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event averaged 1.425 million viewers on NBC this past weekend.
That’s down 27 percent from the prior special in May and is the lowest viewership total of the four SNME shows that have taken place since the series was relaunched in December 2024. The May episode did include John Cena, CM Punk, and Logan Paul all competing on the card.
Goldberg was the featured attraction here with SNME being held in his adopted hometown of Atlanta. In his final match, the 58-year-old Goldberg ultimately came up short in his mission to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther. The episode drew a 0.33 rating in the 18-49 demo on NBC, a drop of 39 percent from the May special. However, SNME was the highest-rated show in the demo out of all network programming that aired on Saturday night.
None of these numbers include data from the Peacock broadcast of SNME, where the show is streamed live in addition to airing on NBC.
There was some wrestling competition for SNME on Saturday as AEW’s All In pay-per-view was still going on when SNME began.
