WWE and NBCUniversal agreed a five-year domestic media rights partnership “that will bring Friday Night SmackDown back to USA Network” according to a statement.

SmackDown has been airing on Fox in the United States since October 2019.

On Thursday, wrestlers including Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, Elias, Aliyah and Shelton Benjamin were released by WWE.
