#4 SmackDown is moving to Fox

Once SmackDown Live officially leaves the USA Network and makes the jump to the big leagues to Fox in the Fall, it will truly become the 'A Show'. For years, Raw has been considered the top show in WWE, mainly because it was created first and was three hours long.

But recently during the brand split, SmackDown has routinely put on better matches and had better storylines than Raw. Raw had some tough times with low ratings, and although SmackDown's ratings also fell, the blue brand was still putting out better episodes than Raw.

Lesnar is one of the biggest stars in pro sports due to his cross-over from MMA to pro wrestling and vice versa. Fox will want big names and big names with credibility for SmackDown's run on its channels.

Putting the title on Lesnar will probably appease Fox officials because of his name-brand recognition. It would likely alienate fans, however, if a major title was put around his waist once again. But who will WWE cater more to - the network or the fans?
