WWE Smackdown rating: A new ratings high for Smackdown on Syfy

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 2.07 rating, which is up from the 1.88 rating the show drew the week before. The show averaged roughly 3.3 million viewers.

Powell's POV: The previous high for Smackdown on Syfy was a 1.9 rating for the January 7 edition of Smackdown. The show drew a 2.53 for the live special that aired on USA Network on December 21. Obviously, this is good news for the Friday night show.
