WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown will return to the USA Network earlier than planned, with its first show back scheduled for Friday, September 13, 2024. Additionally, SmackDown replays will be moved to a new home.
This change is part of a new five-year deal between WWE and USA Network, which starts now that WWE’s rights agreement with FOX has ended. SmackDown is no longer associated with FOX and fans are excited to see what SmackDown will bring to the USA Network.
According to WhatsOnDisneyPlus.com, SmackDown replays will no longer be available on Hulu the day after airing, as their deal ended with SmackDown’s time on FOX. Instead, these replays will now be available on Peacock the following day.
We have also reported that the SmackDown Lowdown show will be streaming live on Peacock following the SmackDown premiere on the USA Network. The new logo for Friday Night SmackDown has also been revealed ahead of its move to the USA Network. Nonetheless, the excitement is palpable for SmackDown’s USA Network transition, so we’ll have to see how the premiere episode will turn out.
