On July 4, WWE SmackDown will revert to being two hours for the first time since late 2024. The show had been given an extra hour when Raw moved to Netflix on January 6, but what was believed to be a temporary measure has now finally been dropped.

The episode was also taped following the June 30 edition of Raw, with the company wanting to give talent and staff a break over the long-running US public holiday.

You can find all of the spoilers for the July 4 edition of SmackDown below.
