USA Network Will Be the Go-To Place for Everything WWE For the Rest of 2024
USA Network is the home to WWE Smackdown, RAW for the rest of 2024.
The WWE Universe is about to receive a fantastic end-of-summer gift.
Beginning September 13, USA Network will become the official destination of all things WWE for the rest of 2024. It's something that hasn't happened since 2019 — but it won't last long. Nevertheless, it all starts when WWE SmackDown comes home to USA Network:
From that date until the end of 2024, USA Network will be the exclusive home of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown, meaning there is literally no other way to catch your favorite WWE Superstars. The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes? Beginning September 13, you can only find him on USA Network. The same goes for Roman Reigns, The Bloodline, Rhea Ripley, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Liv Morgan — and the list goes on and on.
Every champion in WWE will be featured on USA Network, regardless of brand. It will be one heck of a ride for the WWE Universe!
(And although NXT will leave USA Network after the September 24 episode, all three brands will be on the same cable network for a few weeks in September. That's something that's never happened in WWE history!)
So, why will all WWE programming occur on USA Network beginning September 13? Well, it all started when WWE President Nick Khan made a deal to bring SmackDown back home one year ago.
"NBCUniversal has been a tremendous partner of WWE for decades," he said. "We are excited to extend this longstanding relationship by bringing 'SmackDown' to USA Network on Friday nights and look forward to debuting multiple WWE special events annually on NBC."
Things move quickly in WWE — and although Monday Night Raw will leave USA Network come 2025, a second deal was made to ensure fans can keep tuning into the network every Monday night until the end of 2024.
The WWE Universe should take advantage of the convenience of having both flagship shows on the same network for the remainder of the year — it's not something that happens often, and once it's over, it's over.
On September 13, SmackDown returns home, and USA Network becomes the go-to destination for every WWE. Exciting times indeed.
