WWE SmackDown Roster 2024
SmackDown or Friday Night SmackDown is a weekly pro-wrestling television show created and run by WWE. The first-ever episode of SmackDown took place on April 29, 1999. Since its debut, SmackDown has aired on Thursday Nights, Tuesday Nights, and most prominently on its current spot - Friday Nights. While SmackDown had been premiering since 1999, the SmackDown wrestling brand or the blue brand came into existence only on March 25, 2002, when WWE’s first brand extension was enacted. Since then, RAW and SmackDown have mostly worked separately with their own dedicated rosters.
