MyNet official announced that "in the metered markets, MyNetworkTV scored its Highest Friday Night Ever" with a 2.6 household rating" for Smackdown.
The show featured Rey Mysterio vs. Batista in a steel cage to determine the #1 contender to the World Hvt. Title, which continued to prove Mysterio's drawing power based on the boost he's given the show since returning from a brief hiatus in December.
Mysterio's return on December 11 led to a 15.1 percent increase in TV viewership compared to the previous week's episode. The ratings have also increased steadily the first three weeks of 2010 as WWE played out the #1 contender program building to Mysterio winning the steel cage match on Friday.

Holy crap, didn't see that coming at all. Shows how important Rey is to the company. Isn't this one of Smackdowns best rating in the last few years too?
