As previously reported, Triple H confirmed on a recent edition of The Pat McAfee Show that the Friday night program would return to two hours soon.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that SmackDown is expected to move back to its original duration sooner rather than later. The report reads:

“Right now it looks like May or June for the Smackdown move back to two hours.”

No formal announcement about this change has been made by WWE at the time of this writing.
