What was supposed to be a temporary experiment is now stretching beyond its expected expiration date. WWE SmackDown will remain a three-hour broadcast into early June, according to a new report from PWInsider Elite — a move that flies in the face of previous reports indicating a return to the two-hour format by the end of May.
The blue brand extended its runtime at the start of 2025 after jumping back to the USA Network in September of last year. Since then, SmackDown has aired from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. EST on Friday nights, but the response from fans has been a mixed bag.
While some viewers welcomed the extra hour of action, others have grown increasingly frustrated, pointing to a noticeable dip in the show’s pacing and quality. Critics argue the third hour has often felt like filler, lacking the energy and star power that once made SmackDown must-see TV.
The numbers appear to back that up. Since the conclusion of WrestleMania 41, SmackDown has struggled to hold viewers. Last Friday’s episode hit a new low for 2025, drawing just 1.29 million viewers and scoring a 0.36 rating in the coveted 18–49 demo — the second-worst rating since the move back to USA. That kind of drop-off is raising eyebrows, especially considering the initial plan to scale the show back to its original runtime this month.
WWE has yet to officially comment on the extension, but if this trend continues, the company may need to make a tough call: trim the fat, or risk further alienating the fanbase.
For now, SmackDown fans should brace for more three-hour marathons, at least through the first part of June. Whether WWE can recapture the momentum it once had with the blue brand remains to be seen.

There’s a shake-up in the usual pro wrestling schedule this week, as both Ring of Honor and AEW are making rare programming shifts.
ROH has announced that this week’s episode of ROH on HonorClub will not air on its typical Thursday night slot. Instead, the show is moving to Friday—it will also stream for free on YouTube, in addition to the usual HonorClub platform. This makes a opportunity for viewers who haven’t subscribed to get a taste of the current ROH product without dropping a dime.
Meanwhile, over in the AEW camp, Collision is also on the move this week. The Saturday night show will instead air on Thursday night, which likely prompted the schedule adjustment on the ROH side to avoid overlap and give each brand its spotlight.
AEW Dynamite airs live tonight on TBS and Max from the Rio Rancho Events Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
WWE is gearing up for a stacked weekend at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, but a late change of plans has altered the post-Battleground schedule for NXT fans.
The company is set to take over Tampa with three major events across Memorial Day weekend: Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24th, the NXT Battleground premium live event on May 25th, and Monday Night RAW on May 26th. However, what was originally expected to be a four-day WWE stretch has now been trimmed down.
The May 27th episode of NXT TV, initially slated to be taped at the Yuengling Center following Battleground, has been officially pulled from the venue. Ticketmaster has now listed the show as canceled, and the Yuengling Center has scrubbed the event from its website. Instead, the episode will be filmed at WWE’s home base in Orlando—the Performance Center.
While no specific reason has been publicly given for the change, reports from WrestleTix indicate that approximately 1,700 tickets had already been sold for the NXT TV taping. By comparison, NXT Battleground has reportedly moved over 6,000 tickets, showing a clear difference in demand.
This shift suggests WWE may be pivoting to a more intimate setting for the follow-up to Battleground, possibly to recalibrate production or avoid underwhelming visuals in a larger arena. Whatever the case, fans can expect the post-Battleground fallout to return to the familiar walls of the Performance Center, where NXT has long found its footing.
WWE will present the Battleground go-home episode of NXT tonight from the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. live at 8:00 PM EST on The CW Network in the US and on Netflix internationally.
Just over a week after the heartbreaking news of Sabu’s passing, fans are now getting a first look at a documentary chronicling the life and final days of one of wrestling’s most iconic and enigmatic figures. A teaser trailer for SABU, an upcoming documentary focusing on the hardcore legend’s last match and storied career, has officially dropped on YouTube.
The film, directed by Joe Clarke and presented by Sabu’s longtime friend and ECW alum Rob Van Dam, promises an emotional and unfiltered look at the man behind the scars. It centers on Sabu’s final match — a bout against Joey Janela on April 18 — and aims to capture not only the closing chapter of his in-ring career but the decades of chaos, pain, and legacy that led to it.
According to the film’s description, SABU is “an intimate documentary that follows the enigmatic career of professional wrestler Sabu as he seeks closure in his storied life—a final match. From his tumultuous upbringing under the influence of The Sheik to the electrifying days of ECW, Sabu reflects on his evolution as a performer and the extreme style that defined his legacy.”
The teaser showcases glimpses of Sabu’s final days in the business — a raw and poignant perspective fans rarely get to see. Director Joe Clarke revealed on social media that he had been filming with Sabu for nearly a year and that they had planned to shoot the final scene of the film just one week before his untimely death.
Sabu’s last match, against Janela, served as the symbolic closing act to a four-decade-long career that broke barriers and bones in equal measure. While Sabu did pick up the win in his swan song, Janela later admitted that the ECW legend was not in good shape physically, a concern that was echoed by later reports. The match, though celebrated, now carries a heavier emotional weight in hindsight.
As fans come to terms with the loss of one of wrestling’s true revolutionaries, this documentary stands to be both a tribute and a farewell — one shaped not just by broken tables and blood-soaked memories, but by the heart and humanity of a man who gave everything to the ring.
