WWE will go head-to-head with AEW tonight, without even putting on a new show.
The company has announced that it will air an encore presentation of the 10/22 episode of WWE SmackDown Saturday night at 8 p.m. EST. This program will directly overlap with the special Saturday night edition of AEW Dynamite,
WWE issued the following announcement about the move:
Brock Lesnar may have been indefinitely suspended by WWE Official Adam Pearce, but you’ll get a second chance to witness The Beast’s rampage on Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Bloodline when FOX airs an encore presentation of SmackDown with a special look at WWE Crown Jewel tonight at 8/7 C.
WWE Crown Jewel featured a brutal and controversial showdown between Reigns and Lesnar, as well as a shocking Hell in a Cell Match between Edge and Seth Rollins, and a historic Triple Threat Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. It’s a special look at an event you don’t want to miss.
Watch the encore presentation of SmackDown with a special look at WWE Crown Jewel , tonight at 8/7 C on FOX
