On Tuesday, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) made public and official what had already been reported as news for a while now. Beginning on Friday, October 4, 2019, WWE’s SmackDown Live television program will be broadcast on the Fox broadcast network as part of WWE’s new five year television contract with Fox Sports.
This is, for the time being, good news for the Big East.
SmackDown Live will air live on Fox every Friday night of the year for the duration of the contract. This is beneficial for a pair of reasons. First of all, SmackDown won’t be taking real estate away from the Big East.
