Monday Night RAW is in the books which means it’s the blue brand’s turn to take over the USA Network tonight for an all new edition of WWE’s SmackDown Live. Only two matches have been announced for tonight’s show at the Amway Center in Orlando after General Manager Paige revealed yesterday that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will team up to take on The IIconics. Plus, we’ll see the finals of the SmackDown Tag Title #1 Contenders Tournament when The New Day meets The Bar where the winner will get their opportunity at SummerSlam.
Here’s a preview of what else to expect on SmackDown Live, which hits the airwaves at 8PM EST on the USA Network. You can also keep up with the action at 8PM with Mitchell’s Live Report right here on The Chairshot:

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
