WWE Smackdown rating: Did the show bounce back from its 2011 low rating from last week?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show scored a 1.8 rating, which is up from the 1.6 rating the show scored the previous week. Smackdown averaged 2.7 million viewers on Friday.

Powell's POV: Keep in mind that the 2011 low came on a holiday weekend when a lot of people were heading out of town or just out having some fun. The increase this week is nice, but it's nothing to write home about.
