WWE Smackdown rating: The lowest rating since July

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 1.83 rating, down from the 1.95 rating the show drew the week before. Smackdown averaged 2.625 million viewers, down from the 2.861 million average from the previous week.

Powell's POV: There was no special programming that jumps out on Friday night to explain the drop. This was the lowest number the show has drawn since July 13 and it comes just day after Raw drew its worst rating of 2012.
