Last night’s 11/9 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a 2.9 fast national rating, taking The CW to a fourth place finish overall among the networks. This is up from last week’s early 2.8 rating and is good news for WWE as Smackdown has been doing much stronger numbers lately. We should have the final number by early next week.
The 11/8 edition of TNA Impact drew a final 1.04 cable rating (or 1.5 million viewers). This is up slightly from last week’s 1.0 rating, which is what the show had been averaging for the better part of the last three weeks.
