Half Hour of SmackDown to Go Head to Head With Rampage Next Week, Tony Khan Comments

WWE is promoting that next week’s SmackDown will be “supersized.”

Next week’s show will be two and a half hours long, from 8 PM ET to 10:30 PM.

Because of an MLB playoff game on FOX, next Friday’s SmackDown will actually air on FS1.

So a half hour of the show will go head to head with AEW Rampage from 10-10:30.

Tony Khan played up the battle on Twitter.

I saw you’re doing a half hour head-to-head with us. I can’t wait to finally beat your main show head-to-head. It’s been a long time coming. See you next Friday for #AEWRampage on @AEWonTNT!
