WWE Smackdown 4/9/19 Ratings
- Both hours – .78 rating (#1 in the 18-49 demographic, 1.01 rating), 2.199 million viewers

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.

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.
