In an interview with Variety regarding the USA Network’s recent changes, USA Network President Chris McCumber talked about the network focusing on having more sports, more original drams and more WWE programming.

Regarding WWE SmackDown moving to the USA Network in 2016, McCumber had the following to say, “WWE is such an iconic brand, it feels thematically right to have their two biggest properties on the USA Network. Having more live programming is a good thing for this network, having SmackDown and doubling down on WWE is important to us.”
