FOX is said to have some major league plans in store for when SmackDown makes its debut on the network this fall.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Observer Newsletter, WWE and FOX will be looking to roll out the red carpet for the blue brand, which is why they wanted to start off their debut on the channel at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. FOX has been testing out new cameras for the show as they want to give SmackDown a vibe akin to a big boxing match. The strategy for that was cited as being since All Elite Wrestling will likely be debuting earlier that same week, and WWE is aiming to make their product look ‘minor league’ in comparison.
