According to their sources, "Fightful" reports that "SmackDown" will be getting a new theme song, noting that they've been using the same Def Rebel-produced track for the past three years. Fightful's sources further claimed that the new song will be from a mainstream artist this time, but there were no hints beyond this tease. The two shows will also reportedly see changes to the pacing of their episodes, specifically at the end. "SmackDown" in particular will enjoy more flexibility, while "NXT" will be more structured. "Fightful" noted that "SmackDown" has been ending at 9:58 Eastern for the past few years in order not to clash with the local news broadcast, but with USA Network this won't be a concern. Conversely, on The CW, "NXT" will likely no longer be able to go past 10 PM.
