Tonight marks a historic shift for WWE SmackDown as it concludes its 25-year run as a two-hour show before expanding to three hours next week.

Tonight’s WWE SmackDown airs tonight ahead of major format change

Tonight’s WWE SmackDown from Tampa’s Amalie Arena marks the end of an era that began on April 29, 1999. The blue brand’s final two-hour broadcast features a stacked card before transitioning to its new three-hour format on USA Network next week.

WrestleVotes provided details about tonight’s lineup:

Tonight marks the final two-hour #SmackDown for the foreseeable future. Scheduled for the show is a 6-Woman Tag Team Match: Bianca Belair, Naomi and Bayley vs. Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae. Also, Chelsea Green’s US title celebration is set to take place.

The women’s division takes center stage with multiple storylines intersecting. The current Women’s Tag Team Champions, Bianca Belair and Naomi, recently defended their titles against Candice LeRae and Nia Jax. Naomi stepped in as Belair’s partner after Jade Cargill was sidelined by an attack from an unknown assailant last month.

Chelsea Green prepares for title celebration

As SmackDown prepares for its format change, the show will feature Chelsea Green’s championship celebration.

The event follows her recent success at Saturday Night’s Main Event and serves as a highlight moment for tonight’s broadcast from Tampa.

The celebration comes at a pivotal time as the blue brand enters a new chapter in its programming history.
