SmackDown Leaving Fox, Returning to USA Network after October 2024 — Plus, Four WWE Specials Coming to NBC

[Dale]

SmackDown returning to USA makes the most sense. USA really wants to be the home of WWE. They own Peacock and now SmackDown is returning and their other channel NBC will host Saturday Night’s Main Event.

What could be the shock of the century, however, is if they wind up losing Raw. Rumors are swirling they might be, and what a weird event that Raw isn’t on USA, but SmackDown is.

Just imagine Raw on another day like what's continuously been floated around

That would be gross, honestly.

I assume raw being on Mondays is part of the negotiations, but maybe Endeavor won’t care about that like Vince used to.

Monday Night Raw is literally a part of my life. I can’t fucking have that changed. Shit will feel so off.

Gonna be pulling Impact numbers

Shit if USA wanted to be petty and they lose RAW they could just put SmackDown on Monday nights

 

[Dale]

Does Impact go against the NFL on Thursdays?

Maybe this is the plan. Raw was becoming too expensive. So they figured wwe is wwe. Put SmackDown on USA on Mondays and it’s just raw with a blue name.

NXT is already pulling numbers almost 9x what impacts highest ratings usually are. I don't get the joke

 

[Comrade Khan]

in fact there was only like 450k difference in total viewership between last RAW and last NXT lol
