“Tonight marks the return of ‘WWE SmackDown’ to The USA Network, accompanied by what appears to be a new logo. Ahead of the show on Friday afternoon, the rumored insider account WrestleVotes shared an image of what it claimed could be the new SmackDown logo.
The source of the image was anonymous, and the company has yet to officially deny it. Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful has seemingly corroborated this, sharing the image with a note that it was present in the arena materials today.”
“Friday’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter also hinted at additional changes coming to ‘SmackDown’ and ‘NXT’ programming. Sapp’s post suggests that the new logo might be introduced right away, but its official debut will only be confirmed once it appears on tonight’s broadcast.
Speculation continues about what other surprises WWE might have planned for the blue brand’s cable return. Despite initial expectations that the Undisputed WWE Championship cage match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa would headline the show, it has been slated as the opener, raising questions about what WWE Chief Creative Officer has in store for the final segment of the episode.”
