It’s no secret to the WWE Universe anymore that Smackdown Live is going to get a new home in the fall of 2019. It will move to the Fox Sports Network from the USA Network after a constant run for almost a decade. The airing schedule will also change as the Tuesday Night show will now move to its earlier slot of Friday Nights. We expect the show to remain in a live format, no matter what.

It comes as a direct effect after WWE signed the biggest deal in the history of Smackdown Live. The host network that is Fox Sports will award the WWE with 1 billion-dollar each year for the next 5 years making it a whopping amount of 5 billion dollars. No wonder why the host network is demanding more than just a TV show via Smackdown Live i.e. to make it a more sports kind of program close to mainstream content.

Additionally, Fox Sports has already wanted to air additional WWE programmings except for Smackdown. The exact genre of the same is still unknown. Some reports stated that old-themed WWE contents might come back like Saturday Night Heat whereas some suggest that more ducu-features will release regularly on Fox just like the WWE Network specials.
Now PWInsider.com reports that WWE already initiated the program of bringing a new show, indeed. They have filed for a trademark in recent times. There’s no additional information is available via the source on the content details of the upcoming program. This is just the beginning of the potential show coming on Fox Sports from October onwards.
Finalization of the contents, as well as the name, depends on none other than Vince McMahon, itself. It will be interesting to see whether the show comes out with already filed names or having a change with it. Whatever it is going to be, it will be an added WWE programming on the Fox Network that will try to beat the Monday Night Raw programming by all means.
We should note on this context that Triple H also confirmed a new show on Fox Sports alongside Smackdown. He did not reveal any details about it but hinted that could be similar to documentaries like WWE 24 or WWE 365. All we know is that it’ll be a weekly WWE studio show taking place on Tuesday nights. Here’s what Triple H said,
“To take people deeper into what goes on behind the scenes to being a WWE superstar… I can’t wait for this. If you’re a WWE fan, across the board, this is the show that will be a can’t miss.”
