#2. FOX Deal

The FOX deal that WWE has for SmackDown from October 2019 made most people believe that they're going to give far more emphasis on SmackDown's exclusive roster, but we couldn't be more wrong!

WWE has secured the deal and if you aren't aware, it's a five-year, $1 billion deal. Moving Roman Reigns to SmackDown Live seemed to be the move to make so that he can get ratings for FOX, but more likely than not, we're going to see more and more RAW superstars appear on SmackDown.

The logic from WWE may be that since they have the deal in the bag, they don't need the brand split and they can have far more stars appear on the show. With that said, there's also a high chance that they won't go the same route with SmackDown that they did 8 years ago, because this time, they may put far more emphasis on furthering storylines on the blue brand.
