Friday's WWE Smackdown drew a 1.97 rating, which is down from the 2.31 rating the show drew the previous week. Friday's show averaged roughly three million viewers, which is down from the 3.5 million viewers that watched the week before.

Powell's POV: The 2.31 rating for the Feb. 25 show was a record rating for the show's run on the Syfy network. The show basically dropped back to the rating it had been averaging prior to the big jump.
