WWE SmackDown Reverting to Two Hours
WWE SmackDown is expected to return to a two-hour format this summer on USA Network, with the change tied to the second season of Braun Strowman's cooking show taking over the current third-hour slot.
Both Bodyslam and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that WWE's blue brand will revert to a two-hour run beginning at 8 p.m. ET, with Strowman's Everything on the Menu set to air in the 10 p.m. slot currently occupied by SmackDown's third hour.
According to Bodyslam, the change is expected within a few weeks, though the exact date remains unconfirmed. Online schedules show SmackDown still running three hours through at least May 8.
The first season of Everything on the Menu aired in the 10 p.m. ET slot following SmackDown during 2025, and USA Network renewed the show earlier this year. A premiere date for season two has not been announced.
SmackDown has alternated between two and three-hour formats since returning to USA Network in late 2024, with the current three-hour run beginning in January 2026. WWE has not officially confirmed the schedule change.
