WWE issued this statement to the media tonight:

After a successful decade of "SmackDown" on both UPN and The CW, World Wrestling Entertainment and The CW have agreed to conclude our partnership. Since The CW's exclusive negotiation period ran out as of last Thursday, January 31, we have been contacted and have been in negotiations with other networks. "WWE SmackDown" will continue to air on The CW until the conclusion of the 2007-08 broadcast season. We are grateful to Les Moonves, Dawn Ostroff, and their entire organization for bringing "WWE SmackDown" to millions of viewers for so many years.

Damn I wonder what network the show will be on now? Hopefully a good one, one that deserves to have Smackdown on it.

I wonder if Vince can work some of his existing relationships to get Smackdown a permenant home on NBC? His other shows are already on the NBC family of networks and the increased rating potential might bring more attention to Smackdown and make it a better show.
