WWE Smackdown TV rating: Did the Triple Threat match boost the rating?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.82 rating, down from the 2.0 rating it drew the prior week. Smackdown averaged 2.63 million viewers.

Powell's POV: The show dropped this week despite the advertised Triple Threat main event featuring Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler. This is still above what the show was doing in the three weeks that led up to last week's 2.0 mark.
