WWE Smackdown rating: The rating drops from last week's strong number

Friday's WWE Smackdown television show scored a 1.81 rating, which is down from the 1.99 rating the show drew last week. The show averaged roughly 2.5 million viewers.

Powell's POV: This was the lowest rated show in three weeks. However, it's still higher than the rating the show produced in the seven weeks before this three-week period.
