SmackDown Live will be moving to FOX in the fall, and WWE signed a massive deal with the network to bring the blue brand to Friday nights. The show is scheduled to move in October, but according to Chris Hayes of GameSpot, Fox Entertainment CEO Chris Collier referred to SmackDown on Fridays as “short term” during the Television Critics Association Press Tour this week.
Collier went on to say that SmackDown will continue to air live.
“It’s live, and what’s remarkable [is] these are people that know their audience. They’re great storytellers and I think it fits beautifully with what we’re doing.”
It’s been rumored that Fox could add more WWE programming in addition to SmackDown, and Collier also confirmed that other Fox sports networks will have WWE related content.
“The Fox sports networks, FS1, and others, will have some other wrestling–not live Smackdown, not Raw, but other ties to the WWE world.”
