Friday's WWE Smackdown television show drew a 2.03 rating, which is up from the 1.75 rating the show drew the previous week. The show averaged roughly 3.2 million viewers.

Powell's POV: The return of The Rock on Raw likely played a factor in the rating improving this week. The high mark for Smackdown on Syfy remains the Jan. 21 show, which drew a 2.07 rating. It's worth noting that the Christmas week live show on USA Network produced a 2.53 rating. The Raw ratings will likely be delayed this week due to the President's Day holiday on Monday.
