WWE Smackdown rating: Did WWE maintain the high rating from the previous week?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show scored a 1.95 rating, which is down from the 2.3 rating the show drew the previous week. The show scored an average of 2.9 million viewers.

Powell's POV: The rating was down from last week, but it was the second highest Friday night rating the show has produced since July 29. In other words, WWE should be pleased by the number even though it didn't match last week's high mark.
