WWE Smackdown TV rating: Did The Undertaker pop a rating for Smackdown?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.96 rating, up from the 1.92 rating the show drew the previous week. Smackdown averaged 2.751 million viewers, up from 2.59 million the prior week.

Powell's POV: Smackdown drew its best rating since March 29, but we can only wonder what type of number the show would have drawn had WWE actually bothered to advertise Undertaker's match the night before on Raw. WWE opted to advertise the Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio No DQ match instead.
