WWE Smackdown rating: How did Friday's show perform against March Madness competition?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show produced a 1.92 rating, down from the 2.12 rating the show drew last week. The show averaged 2.84 million viewers compared to the 3.1 million viewers averaged last week.

Powell's POV: WWE went head-to-head with the March Madness games that were broadcast on several different networks on Friday night. The show drew a 1.97 rating two weeks ago, so while there was a big drop compared to the previous week, it's still a solid number considering the strong competition from college hoops.
