WWE announced that Smackdown will expand to three hours. The change will occur starting with the January 3 show. Read the official announcement at WWE.com.
Powell’s POV: Money, money, and money. That’s the answer to any questions you may have regarding why they are adding a third hour. I stated a couple months ago that my fear was that Raw, Smackdown, and AEW Dynamite would all become three-hour shows in 2025. Only time will tell whether that fear becomes reality.
Yuck
If they insist upon these being 3 hour shows do you think they could tinker with the formula
I’m not saying the first hour needs to be cruiserweights Ala WCW NITRO but they are all smart people maybe they can come up with something fresh (I said FRESH – not RAW underground, well unless they bring back the strippers)
