Friday Night SmackDown Archives

WWE Friday Night Smackdown returning to USA Network in 2024

WWE Smackdown had been on USA from 2016 to 2019 before it moved over to Fox.

ESPN President of Content Burke Magnus told The Athletic's Richard Deitsch he believes that a deal with WWE is 'certainly a possibility.'

WWE's Bloodline storyline is the most successful in a generation, and even after three years it's still showing growth.

NXT became more prominent than ever over the past few years. Now as WWE shapes its next media deal, where will the third brand go?

Roman Reigns held his 1,000 Day celebration as WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, which helped Smackdown score its biggest rating of 2023.

Smackdown has made its home on Friday nights on Fox since 2019, but WWE President Nick Khan forecasted a potential move again for the brand.

After selling to Endeavor, WWE now may be talking to cable networks about potential new projects according to a new report that emerged Friday.

"I do think this puts ESPN and Disney even more in play."

"People ask me all the time, 'How long are you gonna do this for?'"

10-10:30 will be a hectic half hour for pro wrestling fans.
