Okay, so, I was watching WWE SmackDown, and let me tell you, things got a bit wild. I heard some rumors flying around, and it seems like they had to switch up some matches right in the middle of the show. Can you believe that? I mean, I’m sitting there, popcorn in hand, ready for some action, and then, boom, things change.
So I started digging around. You know me, always have to get to the bottom of things. I heard from some folks who were at the show in Orlando that there was a buzz going around about some wrestlers getting pulled from their matches. Apparently, WWE had some plans booked already, but they had to make some last-minute changes.

I checked out what PWInsider was saying, and they confirmed it. There were indeed some changes made to the lineup. And that’s not all. I found out they also shook things up with the ring announcers. Lilian Garcia is back for SmackDown, which is pretty cool, right? Brings back some old memories.
Now, here’s where it gets even more interesting. I read that while Raw is going to be on Netflix starting January 2025, SmackDown is also going to have some big changes. Apparently, they’re going to make it a three-hour show! Can you imagine? Three hours of SmackDown action. I don’t know how they’re going to fill all that time, but I’m sure they’ll find a way.
I also noticed that they mentioned Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes being in the opening segment of the first three-hour episode. That’s going to be huge! I can already picture the crowd going wild for those two.
But it’s not just about SmackDown. I learned that Netflix is going to carry all of WWE’s shows overseas, including NXT and even the big pay-per-view events like WrestleMania and Royal Rumble. That’s a pretty big deal for international fans. They’re going to have access to everything.
Here’s what I did step-by-step:
- Watched the SmackDown show.
- Heard rumors about changes to the matches.
- Investigated the rumors by checking sources like PWInsider.
- Confirmed that changes were indeed made to the show.
- Discovered that Lilian Garcia is returning as a ring announcer.
- Learned about SmackDown becoming a three-hour show.
- Found out about Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes being in the opening segment of the first three-hour episode.
- Realized that Netflix will carry all WWE shows internationally.
So yeah, that’s the scoop on what went down with SmackDown. It was a crazy night with lots of changes, but hey, that’s what makes WWE so exciting, right? You never know what’s going to happen next. Just another day in the life of a wrestling fan, I guess!
