"Just went to syfy.com and went to the schedule section and maually linked myself to october 2nd (thursday) and there it is! Smackdown on a thursday!!!! http://www.syfy.com/schedule/?date=2014-10-2"

It seems like Smackdown is indeed headed back to Thursday nights.

According to Syfy’s programming calendar on its official website, WWE Smackdown is being listed on Thursday nights beginning on October 2nd.

WWE Smackdown will precede “Haven,” which stars WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland.

Smackdown debuted in 1999 as a Thursday night series but was moved to Fridays in 2005.

WWE has been willing to move the series to another night for quite some time now, and has even discussed broadcasting the series live on Tuesdays during their most recent TV negotiations.
