WWE Supersized Smackdown has been announced that serves as the final episode before Crown Jewel PPV in Saudi Arabia. This special episode on FS1 will air, next Friday night. Per the cable listings, this show will continue for 2 hours and 30 minutes instead of its usual run-time of 2 hours. This means the final 30 minutes will go head-to-head with the first half of AEW Rampage on TNT, which begins at 10 PM ET.
Also, Supersized Smackdown episode is airing on FS1 due to the MLB American League Championship Series Game 1 airing on FOX. But being the final edition before Crown Jewel, a packed card has been announced with the headliner being the beast incarnate of the WWE.
