WWE Scraps Plans To Make Big Change To SmackDown: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE SmackDown is set to continue its three-hour broadcast format on the USA Network for the "foreseeable future," a notable decision given earlier expectations for the show to go back to a shorter length. This news comes via a recent report from WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda's Backstage Pass. The report states that SmackDown will remain a 3-hour show for the foreseeable future. This marks a shift from what was understood to be the original plan. According to the report, originally, the show was agreed upon to move back to 2 hours beginning in June this year [2025]. The continuation of the extended format is reportedly due to the network's positive reception. The primary driver for maintaining the three-hour runtime is attributed to the USA Network's satisfaction with the program's viewership and overall performance. WrestleVotes indicates that the "USA Network has been happy with the performance of the show numbers-wise with the added third hour." SmackDown made its move to the USA Network in October 2024, and the three-hour format has been a consistent feature since its debut on the channel. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation This is a change from the show's traditional two-hour runtime during its many years on other networks, including FOX. The decision to maintain three hours aligns SmackDown's length with WWE's flagship Monday Night RAW, which has also been a three-hour program for over a decade, while NXT typically runs for two hours.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 11: WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative Paul "Triple H" Levesque speaks at a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE's Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. MoreA three-hour weekly show provides WWE with more television time to develop multiple storylines, feature a larger portion of its talent roster, and present longer, more in-depth matches. This can be advantageous for building characters and feuds leading into premium live events. However, longer show lengths can sometimes be a point of discussion among WWE fans regarding pacing and content density. For the USA Network, a successful three-hour block of WWE programming offers a strong anchor in its weekly schedule, likely contributing to consistent viewership and valuable advertising revenue across all three hours. The network's reported happiness with the "numbers" suggests that the extended SmackDown is delivering from a ratings or engagement standpoint. WWE fans can expect Friday nights on USA Network to continue offering an extended dose of SmackDown action. Perhaps, if ratings start to decline, then a change will be made.

Katy Perry confronts fan mid-concert over DM-ing her fiancé Orlando Bloom: ‘I said I'm his. Stay the f--- away'
Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour has been raising more eyebrows than lighters — and not necessarily for the right reasons. From chaotic stage visuals to head-scratching fashion choices that feel pulled straight from a forgotten Y2K time capsule, fans and critics alike have been questioning what exactly is happening on Perry's latest run of shows. But things took an even stranger turn during her May 17 performance at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where the singer jokingly called out a fan for allegedly messaging her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom. While introducing her track I'm His, He's Mine, Perry paused mid-set to address a concertgoer with a smirk and a cheeky comment:'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she said from the stage. The crowd, already stirred, erupted when another fan shouted, 'Get his ass!' Perry didn't hold back. 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man... Oh, Kyle? Yeah, I know. You've been doing it for months — ever since the (Play) residency started,' she added. The moment, which was caught on video and quickly made its way to social media, had the energy of a messy reality show cameo. As the fan appeared to hand something to Perry, the singer swatted away the gesture and delivered the night's most viral line: 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f--- away.' Perry, 39, and Bloom, 47, have been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020. While the couple has often gushed about each other in interviews, this very public confrontation suggests the singer isn't above drawing boundaries — even on stage. The comments on social media have a lot to say, as always. 'Girl, we be trying to like you, then you do this 🤦🏾♀️,' said one. Another comment claimed, 'Do they even sing at the concerts still.' One more comment was, 'Haha diva alert 🚨 love it lol.' Others picked up on the sarcasm involved, saying, 'Katy Perry has a sense of humour 🤣' and 'Lover her! She is so funny! And the way this was actually true while she was just introducing her song, I'm His, He's Mine song is so iconic and funny 😹.' The Lifetimes Tour, intended to be a celebration of Perry's legacy as a pop heavyweight, has so far missed the mark for many fans. Critics have described the visuals as chaotic and confusing, while some attendees feel that the performance seems disjointed. Still, Perry seems undeterred, pressing on with the tour's next stop at the Moody Centre in Austin on May 20. Whether or not this fan confrontation was a rehearsed bit, a real moment of jealousy, or simply Katy embracing a messier version of herself, one thing's clear: she's not afraid to make things personal. And maybe that's just going to be the most exciting part of the show.

Katy Perry Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction, Bra Snaps Off During Live Show
Last Updated: Katy Perry handled a wardrobe malfunction professionally during her Las Vegas show on May 17. Despite the mishap, she continued performing seamlessly. American singer Katy Perry handled a wardrobe malfunction during her Las Vegas live performance on May 17 with the utmost professionalism. The Harleys In Hawaii singer is currently on tour for her seventh studio album, 143. The incident occurred while she was performing her 2010 hit, Part of Me, at the T-Mobile Arena. In a video going viral, Perry was seen running across the stage when the clasp of her bejewelled bra broke. Despite the mishap, the pop star remained composed and continued her performance with the same zeal. 'Oh, sh**, my bra's going to come off," Perry joked to the crowd as her band continued with an instrumental break. She navigated through her stilt-walking backup dancers, maintaining high energy despite the malfunction. At one point, she called out to her assistant, Patrick, asking him to 'put her bra back on." However, she danced through the moment, flaunting the flapping straps of the malfunctioning costume piece. Showing the confidence gained from over 15 years in the pop industry, Perry seamlessly resumed her choreography once her bra was secured, starting from where she had left – the chorus of Part of Me. Katy Perry is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions During the filming of American Idol last year, the Hot N Cold singer experienced a significant wardrobe issue, causing her to duck under the judges' table and cover herself with a pillow. In one Instagram video, she joked, 'I need my top to stay on. If it's not fixed, this show is going to get more than it wanted." Since April, Katy Perry has been on the road for her seventh studio album, embarking on The Lifetimes Tour—named after its lead single. The tour started in Mexico City and is set to span the United States, Canada, South America, and Europe, with short stops in China and the United Arab Emirates. It is scheduled to wrap up in December. First Published:
