-- Last week, some huge news was revealed surrounding the future of WWE Smackdown on the USA Network with WrestleVotes Radio reporting that the show would be expanding to three hours beginning in January. Furthermore, it was reported that the show would be available to stream on Netflix the next day.
-- In an update, it is now believed that the internal belief is that Smackdown's expansion to three hours will only be temporary - for a period of six months - and that around the June timeframe, the show will revert to two hours. If true, it is possible that from January to June, WWE and the USA Network might be looking to gauge performance, interest and viewership figures to see if a permanent move to three hours is tenable like it is for Monday Night Raw.
