Powell's POV: Fridays' show delivered final hype for the WWE Battleground pay-per-view. It was opposed by TBS's coverage of the MLB playoffs, which scored 4.136 million viewers for an early game and then 3.560 million viewers for a portion of a late game that aired during prime time. Smackdown finished second in adults 18-49.
