The 5/26 edition of WWE SmackDown drew a final 3.4 rating on the fast nationals, which will more than likely translate to a 3.5 final number. This rating is up in a big way from last week's very low 2.9 number.

On a side note, SmackDown was preempted on UPN Channel 9 in the New York City/New Jersey area last night due to Yankees baseball. The show will instead be shown tomorrow night on UPN. (Thanks to Bloodyscot14 for sending word as well)

WWE has officially canceled the House Show event in Yuma, Arizona scheduled for June 19. The event was announced to take place earlier in the year, then was pushed to April, followed by another change to June. WWE announced plans to return next spring if their schedule allowed it.
