Big Changes Coming To WWE
The last few months of 2024 will see major changes coming to WWE programming as NXT is not the only show on the move. SmackDown will end its five-year tenure on FOX to move to the USA Network.
Monday Night Raw will remain with the USA Network throughout the rest of the year before WWE’s flagship show makes its $5 billion move to Netflix on January 6th 2025.
