If you're a wrestling fan, the front of your week just got a lot more entertaining.
WWE Smackdown will air live from 8 to 10 every Tuesday night on USA beginning July 19, Variety reported Wednesday.
“There is a huge appetite among our viewers for live programming and the ability to move ‘Smackdown’ to a live format brings a new level of excitement and helps truly eventize this every week,” said Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, in a prepared statement.
Coupled with the three-hour live Raw event on Monday nights, WWE will have five hours of live coverage each week.
