Smackdown’s TV home USA Network now part of Versant after split from NBCUniversal

USA Network, which holds the media rights deal for WWE Smackdown in the United States, is no longer part of NBCUniversal after the company was spun off to Versant.

Versant Media Group now includes most of NBCUniversal’s cable TV stations such as USA, CNBC, SyFy, E!, and others.

Smackdown will fall under the USA Sports banner, joining the English Premier League, Pac-12 Conference, NASCAR, PGA Tour, WNBA, and other major sports which the company has rights to.

The new company is also trading under the VSNT symbol on NASDAQ.
