In case you did not know, SmackDown Live will move to the FOX network later this year. However, we will not be getting the same "sports entertainment" once SmackDown LIVE makes the transition to FOX.

FOX has some strict instructions for WWE - including one that asks SmackDown LIVE to be a more "sports-oriented" program, rather than the current program. FOX network is also setting a ratings standard once WWE makes the move.

Even though we do not doubt Roman Reigns' drawing ability, Brock Lesnar is WWE's biggest mainstream draw. It is reasonable to assume that WWE will be looking forward to milking Lesnar's attraction to the maximum possible extent. Thus, it is entirely possible that Vince will start pulling strings to draft Lesnar to the Blue Brand and position him at the top of the food chain.
