The below news bit may be construed as a slight spoiler from the SmackDown! taping, so highlight the text if you wish to read it.
John Cena was not at the SmackDown! taping in Kansas City last night, so did not say farewell to the brand. Fans who purchased tickets to see the Champion and top babyface of SmackDown! - John Cena - are likely to be very unhappy with his absence.
RAW this week drew a 3.7 this week, 0.1 up from last week's rating of 3.6 The show peaked with a 4.2 rating for the overrun with the ECW invasion angle. The main-event with Chris Benoit vs. Gene Snitsky drew a poor 3.4 rating, which was tied with Q1 as the lowest rated quarter out of the program. WWE can take consolation in the fact they were competing with the Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat game on TNT which drew a huge 7.5 rating.
