Early 12/22 Friday Night Smackdown rating; huge jump from last week
On Saturday, December 23, 2006 at 6:35 PM EST The Wrestling Observer is reporting that last night's 12/22 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a 2.9 rating based on the fast nationals. That is way up from last week's 2.6 fast national rating and is above the usual levels the show has been drawing lately.
That early rating took The CW Network to a 4th place finish overall among the networks. It should be noted that based on this rating, more people watched Smackdown last night than any WWE television show in the U.S. since Monday Night Raw on November 27.
