WWE wants SmackDown’s premiere on the USA Network tonight to be special and Legends might appear on tonight’s show.
According to PWInsider, the following names have been discussed backstage:
– Rob Van Dam
– Booker T
– Ron Simmons
– Teddy Long
A new logo (tap here to see) is not the only change that WWE’s blue brand is getting with the move to USA Network.
According to Fightful Select, SmackDown is set to get a new theme song, replacing the current one by def rebel featuring Supreme Madness. It’s rumored that a “legit artist” will provide the new song, though no further details have been shared.
WWE is also planning changes to the show’s ending. Now that SmackDown no longer has to wrap up early for FOX’s local news broadcasts, they have more flexibility with their airtime. USA Network typically allows more leeway for NXT, while RAW hasn’t had overruns in recent years.
The following has been announced so far for this big episode:
– Steel Cage Match For The Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Solo Sikoa
– Kevin Owens & Mystery Partner vs. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller)
– Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (Part V: Series Tied at 2-2)
