WWE interviewer and correspondent Cathy Kelley recently shared an interesting behind-the-scenes detail about potential plans for Friday Night SmackDown.
Appearing on a recent edition of the “Notsam Wrestling Live!” podcast, Kelley revealed that she recently participated in a meeting with a representative from the USA Network, where the discussion centered on expanding the network’s WWE-related programming now that SmackDown has returned to a two-hour format. She said,
“I mean, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but, several months ago, I had a meeting with someone from USA Network and they were talking about expanding their content after SmackDown because now that it’s two hours, they have that extra hour to fill and they want it to be something that will still maintain the WWE viewership. But also, have a different aspect of entertainment involved… Adjacent to wrestling, you know?”
“I said to them, ‘I would love to do a food show. I don’t know if I am the right qualified host to do that.’”
“We might have to space this out where I would only be able to eat all of that once a year.”
