Based on the fast national numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research, last night’s Friday Night Smackdown scored a 2.8 broadcast rating.

As of the time of this writing we do not have an update on Rey Mysterio. I was told that he was scheduled for surgery yesterday afternoon but that WWE was saying that his surgery was to take place today due to storyline purposes on him appearing on SmackDown. Weâ<80><99>ll post an update as soon as we get it.
