WWE Smackdown rating: How did Friday's show perform head to head in the ratings

Friday's WWE Smackdown drew a 1.62 rating, which is down from the 1.69 rating the show drew last week.

Powell's POV: This is the worst Smackdown rating on Syfy in 2011. Of course, it was a holiday weekend in the United States, which probably explains the decrease. However, it's not like the ratings for the show have been all that steady lately in typical weeks.
