Since we KEEP getting questions about this, let's clarify once more:
*WWE Friday Night Smackdown on The USA Network will go back to two-hours on 7/4.
*This will be a permanent change going forward. The three-hour Smackdowns as done as of this week's episode in Riyadh.
*Smackdown was always going to revert back to two hours this summer, something we reported on WAY back when the move to three hours was initially announced in January 2025.
