Braun Strowman’s culinary venture, Everything On The Menu, is facing an uncertain future, not due to its performance but rather because of WWE’s scheduling changes. The program debuted strongly on the USA Network, attracting an audience of 481,000 viewers and achieving a respectable 0.12 rating in its key demographic. This positive start seemed to position the food show as an unexpected success, yet the landscape is shifting as WWE plans to revert SmackDown to a three-hour format beginning January 2nd, with the show airing live from Buffalo, New York.
This change could lead to Everything On The Menu being displaced from its current timeslot, which directly follows SmackDown. Reports indicate that the production team behind Strowman’s show is already grappling with uncertainty about the potential for a second season, despite the favorable viewership numbers. Wrestling personality Baron Corbin publicly voiced his concerns, suggesting that WWE’s strategy may be to reclaim the timeslot for its programming, which would jeopardize Strowman’s show.
Corbin remarked on social media, “Ha they want Braun’s time slot! The food show is crushing,” emphasizing the program’s initial success. The shift in schedule has raised questions about the fate of Everything On The Menu, as important decisions loom regarding its future. If WWE does choose to reclaim that time for SmackDown, the show might not see a return, or it could be rescheduled to a less desirable timeslot on the network, regardless of its demonstrated ability to attract viewers.
This potential setback presents a challenging situation for both Strowman and the crew involved in the show, who now face an uncertain path ahead. Despite this, the enthusiasm and initial traction indicate that there may still be hope for the series to find a new home or a way to adapt to the changing landscape of WWE programming.
