UPDATE x 2: Randy Orton made an appearance earlier this week and told people that he expected to be on television during tonight’s SmackDown taping in Hartford, CT. He’s currently not advertised but the event is live so it’s a possible he’ll make his return tonight. We have confirmed that Orton is backstage in Hartford right now but he was also backstage at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view on Sunday night but was not used.
UPDATE: Due to the weather issues earlier in the week, tonight’s edition of WWE SmackDown is live. As of last word, a lot of what takes place on SmackDown tonight is what was originally planned for Monday’s RAW.
Daniel Bryan vs. Kane in a casket match headlines the show.
We will have live coverage of the show starting at 8PM ET.
ORIGINAL WWE sent out the following today…
Smackdown Airs Live Tonight at 8PM
NEW YORK and STAMFORD, Conn., – January 29, 2015 – WWE SmackDown will air live on Syfy tonight at 8pm ET/PT and will feature Daniel Bryan® vs. Kane® in the legendary WWE Casket Match as well as WWE Superstars including Roman Reigns®, Seth Rollins® and Dean Ambrose®, and WWE Divas Natalya™, Paige™ and Alicia Fox™.
Since moving to Thursday nights just two weeks ago, WWE SmackDown instantly became Thursday night’s most-watched original program on all of cable. It was also watched by more men than any program on cable and watched by more women than any program on MTV, TLC, A&E, Food Network, E!, ABC Family or Bravo.
With more than 800 original episodes, SmackDown is the second longest-running weekly episodic program in U.S. television history, only behind WWE’s other flagship program, Monday Night Raw. Over the past 15 years, SmackDown has been broadcast from 170 different venues, in 148 cities, in seven different countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Japan, Italy and Mexico. The name SmackDown came from WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock®” Johnson’s popular catchphrase, “Lay the Smackdown.”
