#2. Hope is true: Reason why WWE is booking better storylines for SmackDown

SmackDown has been the better brand for a while now.

SmackDown on FOX has been vital for WWE. It's their biggest television deal by a mile, and it's not surprising to see that they have been putting a lot of emphasis on the quality of the show.

The recent WWE Draft saw several top names move to SmackDown, and over the last few months, the quality of the show has been significantly better than the flagship show RAW.

According to Dave Meltzer, WWE is intentionally booking the best storylines to please FOX executives:

The report stated that WWE did this on purpose to please those at FOX, which airs the SmackDown show every Friday. Meltzer said that WWE feel that their relationship with FOX is more important than that of USA Network, which airs RAW every Monday night. Meltzer said that WWE are guaranteed their show on the USA Network as the network requires a brand like RAW each week.

We hope this is true because it's a logical move for WWE to make.
