WWE Smackdown rating: How did the WrestleMania 28 go-home show perform?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.76 rating, down from a 1.8 rating the week before. The show averaged 2.48 million viewers.

Powell's POV: This was the lowest rated original airing the show has delivered in 2012. Smackdown ratings have dropped consistently throughout the month of March, though the college basketball tournament has been a factor in the decline. Meanwhile, UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" drew a 0.78 rating, which is the new low for the show since it debuted on FX on March 9.
