WWE is promoting that next week’s SmackDown will be “supersized.”
Next week’s show will be two and a half hours long, from 8 PM ET to 10:30 PM.
Because of an MLB playoff game on FOX, next Friday’s SmackDown will actually air on FS1.
So a half hour of the show will go head to head with AEW Rampage from 10-10:30.
Tony Khan played up the battle on Twitter.
I saw you’re doing a half hour head-to-head with us. I can’t wait to finally beat your main show head-to-head. It’s been a long time coming. See you next Friday for #AEWRampage on @AEWonTNT!
