Wrestling fans, brace yourselves for a seismic shift in the WWE universe! SmackDown is moving to the USA Network earlier than expected, setting the stage for a star-studded September. As the major TV deals for WWE’s top shows draw to a close later this year, it’s all change in the wrestling world, and SmackDown is getting a head start.
Originally slated to part ways with FOX at the end of September, SmackDown will now dazzle wrestling aficionados on the USA Network starting September 13. Why the sudden switcheroo? Well, it seems FOX was set to relegate most of September’s SmackDown episodes to FS1, thanks to the college football season kickoff. Not wanting to sideline the blue brand, the USA Network swooped in to save the day, promising to make the premiere an unforgettable ratings hit.
Seattle is buzzing with anticipation, tipped to host this landmark episode, marking a new chapter for SmackDown. And that’s not all – USA Network is going all-in with a “WWE Week” bonanza. Picture this: a week jam-packed with WWE delights, featuring both “Raw” and “SmackDown,” the spine-tingling Bray Wyatt “Becoming Immortal” documentary, “Blockers” starring the ever-charismatic John Cena, and a marathon of “Fast and Furious” movies showcasing Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Talk about a wrestling fan’s dream come true!
So, fans, mark your calendars and prepare for a week of non-stop action and entertainment. SmackDown on USA is not just a show; it’s a monumental event that promises to bring the house down. As the WWE landscape evolves, one thing’s for sure – the excitement is just getting started!
