The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Friday Night SmackDown will be moving to Syfy, an affiliate of WWE’s longtime cable partner, USA Network. WWE is likely to make an official announcement later this week.

The program will continue to air on Friday nights when it moves to Syfy later this year, most likely in either late September or early October.

Syfy will reportedly pay $30 million to air SmackDown, up 50% from the $20 million WWE has been getting from MyNetworkTV.

Smackdown has been on network television since its inception nearly eleven years ago.
