Double Shift: More On Changes Coming To SmackDown And NXT Following Platform Moves

Wrap it up. We are in the middle of a series of changes to its television schedule, with all of its three major television shows moving to new platforms. These moves bring with them a variety of other changes, some of which will come after the shows have done the same things for a very long time. Now we have an idea of how two of the shows are going to be switching.

Two of the changes will see NXT moving to the CW, along with SmackDown moving to the USA Network, the latter of which has already taken place. According to Fightful Select, SmackDown will be slightly longer now that it is on the USA Network, as FOX required the show to be off the air earlier for the network’s 10pm news broadcast. On the other hand, NXT will no longer have the overruns it had used on the USA Network as the CW wants to move on to its followup programs.

This could be good. Check out the three main WWE shows:

Opinion: This makes sense and I can go with the idea of having the shows being much more uniform in length. Having NXT go longer while SmackDown went off the air a minute or two earlier was always a little weird and hopefully this makes things that much better. The changes alone are interesting and I’m curious to see how much better this makes things across the board.
