Breaking Newz: le retour des deux rosters à la WWE et SmackDown en live !
La WWE vient d'officialiser sur leur site officiel ce que 99.99% des personnes voulaient ravoir: la Brand Extension (un roster à RAW et un autre à SmackDown). SmackDown sera aussi diffusé en direct le mardi (et non le jeudi, deux jours après les enregistrements comme actuellement) sur la chaîne américaine: USA Network. Et ce, à partir du 19 juillet 2016 (le dernier mardi avant Battleground). Comme avant, RAW et SmackDown auront leurs propres superstars, rivalités etc... Il y aura une draft durant les prochaines semaines pour séparer les rosters. Les titres mondiaux de la fédération vont alors être s'en doute désunifiés. D'après la WWE, on doit s'attendre qu'elle soit "secouée comme jamais auparavant".

A SmackDown shakeup is about to completely reshape all of WWE. Beginning July 19, the second longest-running weekly episodic program in television history, SmackDown, will move from Thursday to Tuesday nights and air LIVE each and every week — for the first time ever — at 8/7 C on USA Network, the exclusive cable home to WWE’s marquee properties.
This bold move will have major ramifications for all of WWE and exemplify the New Era, as both Raw and SmackDown will each feature their own unique rosters and rivalries following an imminent Superstar draft.
"WWE's flagship programs will both leverage the incredible depth of our talent roster, distinct storylines and the unpredictable nature of live TV," WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon said. “This move will undoubtedly build more excitement and deepen engagement with our fans around the world.”
With so many explosive competitors emerging from WWE NXT, and top Superstars like John Cena and Seth Rollins returning from injury, WWE’s star-powered roster has never been stronger. Its historic division and the monumental revelation of SmackDown’s shift to a live format each week reflect the excitement and unpredictability of WWE’s New Era.
What awaits SmackDown on its new night, starting this July? Which live shows will claim your favorite Superstars? What will this all mean for the future of sports-entertainment? Stay tuned as WWE prepares to get shaken up like never before.
