It's brand new. Last night was the first time they used it, and it pissed me off. I absolutely hated this version. I quite liked the previous one.
I think SmackDown!'s set needs a change. Sure, it was the RAW set with a bit of SmackDown! mixed in, but I think they need to lose the fist and the glass, get something more "classy" if you will.
I used to like the "oval" design they used to have for SmackDown!, and although completely moving the show back a few years may not be a wise move, I think channelling the earlier days of SmackDown! would be.
Have the set be a black version of the original SmackDown! set, and have a rectangular screen in the background, and have a titantron above it. Have lights built into the set, much like they were this week.
Have SmackDown!'s colour theme change from blue & silver/white to dark blue & black. SmackDown! needs to re-invent itself, in my opinion.
