"Friendly Reminder", that due to the World Series, Smackdown airs on FS1 tonight. A bunch of outlets shared this information today, all within an hour or so of each other, in what I'm sure was a total coincidence.

It looks like a WWE P.R. mass email dropped around noon Central time on Friday, reminding various outlets to do free P.R. on their behalf (although I think I would actually respect it more if they were being paid, which to be clear I strongly do not believe to be the case, to sell out any semblance of journalistic integrity that might exist "in this space"), and send out those FRIENDLY AND TOTALLY UNPROMPTED REMINDERS.

A small sampling (there are many, many more) of the nearly identical tweets that followed, as these outlets followed the commands of their WWE P.R. overlords:

It looks like Jon Alba was busy recording his podcast and didn't check his email until a few hours later (3:21): https://twitter.com/JonAlba/status/1717999902544777664
