USA Network president Chris McCumber told AdAge.com that WWE SmackDown will remain on Thursday nights when the show moves from the Syfy network to the USA Network in January 2016.
The plan is to package Smackdown with a new series on Thursday nights, but will remain in its normal timeslot at 8:00 p.m. on the east coast.
Also, a new series/season will follow Smackdown each quarter. An official start date for Smackdown on USA has not been announced.
