WWE Smackdown rating: How did the go-home for No Way Out perform?

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.75 rating, up from the 1.73 rating the show drew the week before. Smackdown averaged 2.411 million viewers, down from the 2.48 million the prior week.

Powell's POV: This is the third consecutive week that the rating has increased slightly, yet viewership also dropped slightly. Smackdown did not have to contend with the NBA Finals, but there was U.S. Open golf coverage on ESPN that night. Disney's "Let It Shine" drew a whopping 5.7 million viewers.
