Vorlage:About Vorlage:Infobox Television

WWE Superstars is a professional wrestling television program produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) that is currently airing on WGN America in the United States. It debuted on April 16, 2009. The show features WWE talent from both of the current brands: Raw and SmackDown. The show also previously featured talent from the now-defunct ECW brand.[1]

Show history

On December 19, 2008, WWE and WGN America announced an agreement to create a new weekly, one-hour prime time series entitled WWE Superstars that was to debut in April 2009. The show features stars from all the WWE brands. In early 2009, WGN put out a press release hyping the revived series and revealed its new time slot for its debut. Superstars airs Thursday nights at 8:00 pm ET (7:00 pm CT).[2] A replay airs at noon on Sunday WGN America. Until early 2010 the replay also aired on WGN-TV. However, it was removed, hence eliminating distribution of the show from the Canadian fanbase.[3] Superstars had its debut show on April 16, 2009.[4]

Production

WWE Superstar's version of the universal WWE HD set used from April 16, 2009 - present

The theme song for WWE Superstars is "Invincible" by Adelitas Way.[5] WWE Superstars currently uses the same universal WWE entrance set that is also currently used for WWE's other primary television programs Raw, NXT, and SmackDown.[6][7][8] Although WWE promotes the series as a television program that takes place during one night, in reality, the matches that are set for the event are taped earlier than the broadcast day. These matches are taped during the Raw and SmackDown events on Mondays and Tuesdays, respectively, and are then aired Thursdays during Superstars.[9] As a result, the show features brand-specific commentary throughout the show, as each brand's respective commentators announce the match for their particular show. Also the colors of the ropes change depending on the brand that is wrestling.The colors of the ring ropes are blue for SmackDown, white for Raw and gray during the matches of the now defunct ECW brand.[10]
