WWE Smackdown rating (updated): Friday's replay performs better than the live special on Tuesday

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.52 rating, which is better than the 1.5 rating that the same show drew when it aired live on Tuesday night. The replay averaged 2.307 million viewers.

Powell's POV: I suppose the good news for Syfy is that the combined viewership of both shows is better than one single airing of Smackdown. However, it has to be a bit embarrassing for WWE and the network that the replay performed better than the live airing.

Update: I mistakenly listed a 1.7 earlier, but the actual rating for the Friday replay was a 1.52.
