December 1, 2014

The Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI, the site of the 12/16th WWE Smackdown show, is advertising a live Smackdown broadcast that night, and is also advertising Roman Reigns’ return to Smackdown on the same night.

WWE previously announced Smackdown would air live that night as part of “WWE Week” on the USA Network.

The announcement is as follows:

Live at Van Andel Arena – WWE returns to Grand Rapids with SUPER SMACKDOWN LIVE. Be a part of history with this SPECIAL LIVE BROADCAST of SMACKDOWN at Van Andel Arena for the FIRST TIME EVER!

Smackdown in Grand Rapids is now “WWE SuperSmackdown Live.” This means that it will be airing live Tuesday night, December 16, on USA. It will also be taped to re-air on Friday night, December 19, on SyFy in its usual time slot. There only 1 or 2 Smackdown dates per year that broadcast live! Also, due to this change, the start time is now 6:45 PM instead of 7:00 PM.
