A round of new rumors claims there could be big changes coming to the look and length of Smackdown for either the show’s debut on the USA Network tonight or in upcoming episodes.
There is a lot of notable shuffling that will be underway when it comes to WWE television in the final months of 2024. NXT will be moving from USA Network to the CW Network next month. Smackdown will leave FOX for the USA starting tonight. And WWE Raw will move over to streaming giant Netflix in January.

However, this week was unique because all three shows aired on USA Network over the last few days. Smackdown will bring what has been dubbed “WWE Week” to a close with its first episode of a new TV deal with the network. Raw had its “season premiere” last week but the product was what wrestling fans are used to. But that may not be the case for this week’s Smackdown.
