Braun Strowman’s Everything On The Menu might be off the menu soon—and it’s not because of bad ratings. Despite a strong debut on USA Network, the future of the show is now uncertain as WWE reclaims its Friday night TV territory.

WWE is set to bring SmackDown back to a three-hour format beginning January 2nd, airing live from Buffalo, New York. That added hour could directly bump Everything On The Menu off its current post-SmackDown time slot. The show premiered to solid numbers—drawing 481,000 viewers with a 0.12 rating in the key demo—and was seen as a surprising hit. But according to a new report, the crew behind the series doesn’t know if they’ll even get a second season.

“As indicated by the viewership, Braun Strowman’s food show is doing big numbers with SmackDown lead-ins on USA Network. The crew on the show were left with uncertainty regarding a second season.”

While WWE hasn’t officially commented on how the schedule change will affect other programming, the timing has raised eyebrows. Especially after Baron Corbin went public with his take on the situation, calling out WWE for potentially squeezing out Braun’s show.

“Ha they want Braun’s time slot! The food show is crushing.”

Strowman’s show launched with momentum, offering a new look at the wrestling star away from the ring—but now it’s in limbo. If WWE takes back that slot, Everything On The Menu might not return at all, or USA Network could be forced to move it to a different (and possibly less favorable) timeslot—despite the show proving it could pull a crowd.

That’s a tough break for Braun Strowman and his crew, who now face an unclear future.
