This past Friday, SmackDown made MyNetworkTV history for the 12th time, generating the most-watched telecast in the network’s history. The episode, in which John Cena’s pursuit of Edge’s World Heavyweight Title earned Big Show’s wrath, garnered a 2.3 rating, having been watched in 2,660,000 households throughout the U.S. with 3,996,000 total viewers.
