WWE Smackdown Staying On Friday

News

In an apparently changes of plans, WWE Friday Night Smackdown is indeed staying on Fridays.

It was widely expected that the show would be moving to Thursday nights on Syfy in the new fall season. Early Syfy lineups had the change in place, and TNA Impact actually moved to Wednesday as a pre-emptive measure.

However, Syfy has had success in promoting a new series “Spartacus” on Thursdays and has decided to keep the show on Thursdays. That means that Smackdown will not move and stay on Fridays after all.

No word on if Spike TV will move Impact back to Thursdays, or if a new network would put TNA on Wednesday or Thursday for 2015.
