Rating for WWE's SmackDown Debut on SyFy

- The premiere of WWE SmackDown on Syfy scored a 1.7 cable rating, with 2.5 million viewers, making it the most watched Friday night on the network in two years.

The program's debut was considerably less than what it drew on MyNetworkTV, where it often garnered more than 3 million viewers on a weekly basis. The 2.5 million figure is down from the last released SmackDown viewership number, as the September 17 episode averaged 2.77 million viewers.

Even low ratings for the WWE is really good for SyFy. I hope that the ratings get better, but SD won't be canceled, since it is already SyFy's most popular show. I loved this past weeks SD and I think more people would have too, if they had watched the show.

We can put that perhaps on not everybody knowing Smackdown moved to SyFy but it's already an encouraging piece of news that Smackdown's already the most watched show on the network. This will bode well for WWE.

SD was excellent, that is all I know for sure.
