About WWE Smackdown

WWE SmackDown is one of professional wrestling's longest-running and most-watched weekly programs. The show debuted on August 26, 1999 on UPN, originally airing on Thursday nights as a complement to WWE Raw. The name itself comes from The Rock's signature catchphrase, "Layeth the Smack down," and the show quickly became UPN's highest-rated program, drawing roughly 6.5 million viewers in its first months on air. WWE SmackDown has since grown into one of the company's two flagship shows, broadcasting live every Friday night and reaching audiences across twelve countries.

The show's reach extends well beyond a single network. Over more than two decades, WWE SmackDown has aired on UPN, The CW, MyNetworkTV, Syfy, USA Network, and Fox before returning to USA Network in September 2024. International audiences can watch through Netflix in most markets outside the United States. The program has been taped and broadcast from hundreds of arenas across the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Australia. That global footprint gives WWE SmackDown tickets a unique draw for fans no matter where the show lands.

What is the history of WWE SmackDown?

WWE SmackDown first appeared as a one-off television special on April 29, 1999, before launching as a weekly two-hour show on UPN later that August. In March 2002, WWE introduced the brand extension, splitting its roster between Raw and SmackDown and giving each show its own exclusive group of performers. That move turned SmackDown from a complementary program into a distinct brand with its own championships and storylines. The show celebrated its 500th episode on March 20, 2009, its 700th episode on January 18, 2013, and its 1,000th episode on October 16, 2018. As of October 2011, WWE SmackDown holds the distinction of being the second-longest-running weekly episodic television series in American history, trailing only WWE Raw.

What are the biggest WWE SmackDown milestones?

WWE SmackDown has hit several notable benchmarks across its run:
  • Cultural impact: In 2007, Merriam-Webster added the word "smackdown" to Webster's Dictionary, defining it as "the act of knocking down or bringing down an opponent" and "a decisive defeat." The Oxford English Dictionary credits the show with popularizing the term.
  • Network broadcast deal: Fox signed a five-year agreement in 2018 worth $205 million per year to air SmackDown, marking the show's return to broadcast television and Friday nights starting October 2019.
  • USA Network return: In September 2023, WWE announced a new five-year deal with NBCUniversal valued at $1.4 billion, bringing SmackDown back to USA Network starting September 2024.
  • International expansion: SmackDown has aired episodes from London, Lyon, Jeddah, and Berlin in conjunction with major WWE events, extending the live experience to fans across multiple continents.

What is the WWE SmackDown fan experience like?

WWE SmackDown delivers a live arena atmosphere that is hard to replicate on screen. The show travels to different cities nearly every week, bringing full-scale production with pyrotechnics, LED stage setups, and arena-wide lighting. Fans in attendance see title matches, rivalry confrontations, and storyline twists play out in real time. The energy in the building feeds directly into the broadcast, which is part of why the show consistently ranks as the most-watched program on Friday nights in the United States. Whether it is a regular weekly episode or a milestone special like the 20th Anniversary show or the 1,000th episode celebration, WWE SmackDown tickets put you in the middle of a production built around crowd reaction. Major WWE pay-per-view events like WWE WrestleMania and WWE Royal Rumble often tie into SmackDown storylines, making the weekly show a key part of the larger WWE calendar.
