#2 To help change the perception of SmackDown Live
Before I get to the heart of the point, I just want to state two bits of information.
Firstly, in my opinion, WWE SmackDown (read results here) is the better show on most weeks. Not only does the show flow better but it also has less filler because it's not 3 hours long.

Secondly, I'm sure we all know that SmackDown is technically considered the B-show by WWE (which ends up rubbing off on fan perception).
With SmackDown moving to FOX, WWE needs to change the perception of SmackDown. One easy way to do it is to draft Brock Lesnar over to the blue brand.
Lesnar is one of the, if not THE biggest star signed to WWE right now and 'The Beast' moving to SmackDown wouldn't just come as a shock but it would also help put SmackDown on the same level as RAW in the eyes of fans.
