The SmackDown brand is making big moves, as the show is moving to Friday nights on FOX, and tonight’s show will be the 20th anniversary special.
Triple H recently spoke to the Associated Press about the blue brand’s jump to FOX and he noted that people will see changes right away.
“I think the opportunity to go to a broadcast platform with partners like Fox that not only want to take what you do and embrace it, but help you to make it something more, increases the value. You’ll see changes right away.”
There are a lot of unanswered questions at this point in time in regards to what SmackDown will draw for viewership on FOX, but while speaking about the drop in WWE’s ratings Triple H seemed hopeful that the course will be corrected.
“I think any show that has been on the air as long as ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown’ have, you’re going to have moments in time where things ebb and flow,” Levesque said. “When you look back over it, you hope that as you look back 10 years from now, you go, ‘oh, there was a little dip there but it wasn’t for long and they corrected course and got right.’”
