The WWE is looking to expand the SmackDown schedule, and it was already reported on the change of three hours in WrestleVotes Radio. The new report has provided an update on a sudden change in the three -hour plan for the blue brand in 2025.
Previously it was reported that the WWE would follow the three -hour format for SmackDown from mid -January until some May 2025. Why it is for a limited period of time is not known so far.
In WrestleVotes Radio Backstage Pass This week, Joeyvotes and TC gave an update on the situation. At this time, it seems that the fact that RAW has three hours in Netflix is an accomplished fact, and because of that, the WWE could transfer the three -hour issuance of SmackDown from mid -January at the end of January.
Anyway, it seems that four months of three -hour episodes of the blue brand will occur.
According to @WrestleVotesRaw and SmackDown will BOTH be 3 hour shows starting from January.

What will be the consequences of Survivor Series in SmackDown?
The consequences of Survivor Series: Wargames in the blue brand will be incredible to see. On the one hand, Jey use and Sami Zayn seem to be back in Smackdown, with Drew McIntyre pointing to both men on their return to make a statement.
This can lead to a small overlap between the stories of Sami Zayn and Jey use in both brands. Taking into account that RAW in Netflix in January will feature Roman Reigns, we may see that the story overlaps from one brand to the other.
It will be interesting to see if Roman Reigns and Jimmy use will be alone against The New Bloodline, who still surpass them in number despite the defeat in Wargames. The role of CM Punk with The Bloodline was brief and shocking, but it is a Raw star.
Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens will be the focal point of the blue brand for the episodes of the December 6 and 13 program, since the fight for the WWE undisputed championship is expected to lead the event.
