"For right now, and then it switches back to two [hours]," Triple H said.

SmackDown used to air on FOX but the promotion's deal with the network came to an end last year. This past Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown ran for three hours on the USA Network and featured The Bloodline picking up a victory over Sami Zayn and The Usos in a Six-Man Tag Team Match in the main event.
Wrestling legend criticizes the way Triple H books WWE television
Wrestling legend Konnan recently discussed what he felt were the two weakest parts of Triple H's booking strategy.
Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan criticized The Game for how he booked the women's and tag team divisions. The veteran suggested that tag teams were at the bottom of Triple H's priorities and his booking of the women's division had been sub-par.
"I was going to say, maybe it's hard to...I always say in Mexico, I can't push everybody at the same time, right? He's got priorities, and the tag team are at the bottom, but he should know better because he was a part of DX, which had a lot of good Tag Team Matches. But I think the tag teams aren't being booked well and most of the women aren't either," he said. [1:22 - 1:49]
