Styles and James Ellsworth for a\u00a0World Hvt. Title shot and coming just two days after a newsworthy Survivor Series. The Nov. 22 episode drew a 1.72 rating, down from last week&#8217;s 1.95.<\/p>\n<p>The rolling ten week average for Smackdown coming into this week was 1.67, so it&#8217;s only a notch above the recent average. It is a big rebound from the 1.38 rating it drew Election Night two weeks ago and ties the highest rating of the previous nine weeks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keller&#8217;s Analysis: The surge in the Raw rating didn&#8217;t directly lead to an above-average rating for Smackdown, so Goldberg&#8217;s appearance helped Raw pop a rating, but its effect on Smackdown was negligible, other than the fact that Smackdown was above average and near the higher levels its hit in recent months, sans last week&#8217;s show with Undertaker. What the ratings the last two shows is WWE is able to communicate to lapsed or infrequent viewers when a big star is appearing, and those fans tune in. But they don&#8217;t stick around once the special attraction isn&#8217;t around.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2840343990\"><div id=\"pwtor-3212483529\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Without Undertaker, Smackdown&#8217;s ratings settled back to barely above average last night, despite a ladder match between A.J.
