WWE Smackdown rating: How did the Night of Champions go-home show perform in the ratings?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.78 rating, which is down from the 1.9 rating the show drew the previous week. Smackdown averaged 2.61 million viewers. The previous show produced 2.91 million viewers.

Powell's POV: Last week's show was higher than the recent average. That said, any hope that WWE had of last week's rating being a sign that their Raw SuperShows were going to lead to increased ratings for Smackdown are certainly in question given the decline.
