Despite the fact that WWE has been dealing with a big decline of their television ratings for months now, there have been rumors of WWE adding a third hour to SmackDown Live.

This would be a change due to their television deal with FOX that kicks off in October. Many fans have expressed their disinterest in seeing SmackDown be extended from two hours to three hours.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston recently spoke with Vicente Beltran from ViBe & Wrestling where he talked about this rumored possibility. Although Kingston admitted to not hearing the rumor prior to the interview, he did show his full support of the move.

Kingston noted that in his opinion, “the more wrestling on TV the better” because the more talent you get on television and he thinks that’s a good thing. He would add that “there is a lot of talent on our roster that the world doesn’t get to see.”

There is expected to be various changes to WWE when the FOX deal goes through in this fall as SmackDown Live starts to air on the broadcast network.

SmackDown Live events will run from Thursday through Sunday, which will be a change for the stars as they are currently running a schedule that goes Saturday through Tuesday.
