WWE found themselves in an awkward spot during Night of Champions, and this time, it wasnt because of the in-ring action.
During the live broadcast on June 28, 2025, WWE promoted the latest episode of WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) as airing at 8 PM ET on A&E. But there was just one problem that wasnt true.
A quick glance at TV listings confirmed the actual start time for WWE LFG is 10 PM ET, not 8 PM. In fact, Duck Dynasty was scheduled in that earlier time slot. So where did WWE get 8 PM from? Turns out, that was the start time for season one but things have changed for season two, and apparently not everyone in the company got the memo.
To make matters worse, the time change might already be hurting the show. The season two premiere of WWE LFG, which aired on June 22, 2025, brought in just 114,000 overnight viewers with a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demo. Thats a noticeable drop from season ones numbers. The February 16, 2025 premiere scored 160,000 viewers with a 0.05 rating, while the May 18, 2025 finale pulled in 156,000 viewers and a 0.08 demo rating.
| Episode | Date | Total Viewers | 18-49 Demo Rating | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 Premiere | Feb. 16, 2025 | 160,000 | 0.05 | |
| Season 1 Finale | May 18, 2025 | 156,000 | 0.08 | |
| Season 2 Premiere | June 22, 2025 | 114,000 | 0.04 | Down |
Even the lowest-rated episodes from season one, which aired in alternate time slots, outperformed the season two debut. Many are now wondering if the later start time and the confusion around it is partly to blame for the sharp decline.
At the end of the day, WWE hyping the wrong time on live TV is the last thing LFG needed with ratings already slipping. Now, fans are frustrated, the shows fighting for viewers, and WWEs left cleaning up the mess. One wrong announcement, and suddenly even Duck Dynasty is stealing their spotlight.
Whats your take does a later time slot kill the show, or do you still stay up for WWELFG? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
