WWE Smackdown’s latest run as a three-hour show ends Friday

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

WWE Smackdown’s latest run as a three-hour show concludes on Friday. The July 3 Smackdown marks the start of a six-month run of two-hour episodes.

Powell’s POV: The two-hour Smackdown shows will continue to start at 7CT/8ET. Everything on the Menu With Braun Strowman will move to the 9CT/10ET time slot on July 3. The three-hour Smackdown shows are likely to resume in January, assuming they stick to the plan of having three-hour shows from January through June, and two-hour shows from July through December.
