AEW Rampage will be going head-to-head with the first of two SmackDown replays.
WWE SmackDown is set to air on Fox Sports 1 on Friday, October 29 due to Game 3 of the World Series airing on FOX. Following SmackDown, WWE had planned to drop Talking Smack at 10 p.m. ET on FS1, going up directly against the first half-hour of AEW Rampage.
A change has been made, however, as WWE has now announced that two encore presentations of SmackDown will air immediately following the regular broadcast.
From WWE:
Friday Night SmackDown began a new chapter last week, and the blue brand will continue the explosive era this week on FS1 at 8/7 C.
SmackDown will take over FS1 on Friday, as two encore presentations will immediately follow the regular broadcast airing at 8 p.m. ET.
Last week on the blue brand, Brock Lesnar came hunting for Universal Champion Roman Reigns and earned an indefinite suspension, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks delivered fireworks around the SmackDown Women's Title landscape, King Woods was officially coronated and much more.
What will this week have in store when SmackDown heads to FS1?
On Saturday, October 23, AEW Dynamite went up against a SmackDown replay. Viewership numbers for that show can be seen here.
Fightful will have live coverage of WWE SmackDown and AEW Rampage, with a joint post-show review beginning at 11 p.m. ET.
