The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.
WWE On Fox Notes
With WWE moving SmackDown Live to Fox, some changes could be in the offing. These changes (h/t CagesideSeats) include:
- Another WWE draft being presented as a “legit sports draft”. The reason it will be starting on SmackDown Live is to legitimize the show and avoid the “B-show” label.
- Renee Young may be moved off of commentary to host a WWE studio show on FS1. This would be done because Fox are huge fans of Young.
- Commentators would be part of the brand re-draft as well. That means Corey Graves would be on commentary for only one show.
