Last night's edition of WWE Smackdown scored a 3.2 rating, with a 5 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That number is up from last week's 3.1.

Early estimates for the WWE Backlash Pay-Per View are coming in at anywhere from 425,000 to 500,000 buys. Those numbers are much lower than WWE was hoping for, but many still see it as a success since it's above what the No Way Out PPV in February drew.
