#2. Move to Fox Sports.

It's no secret that Fox Sports expected a lot from WWE when they brought Friday Night SmackDown to their network, but that ended up helping them. In fact, between Fox Sports being a little less restrictive on content and wanting WWE to thrive, it has allowed the company to once again push the boundaries.

Whether that be by The Fiend terrorizing The Miz's family or The Rock getting an entire stadium to chant STD at King Corbin, it looks like Fox Sports is letting WWE get away with a lot. Of course, there is probably some kind of limit as to what the company is allowed to and isn't allowed to do, but it is different from what it was.

If nothing else, Friday Night SmackDown's move to Fox Sports was a godsend for WWE. Not only is that evident by the mainstream attention the company is receiving day after day for the move, but also by their newfound ability to make edgier content that a wider range of audiences can enjoy.

And that's the best part of it! With sports like, NASCAR, NFL, MLB and more also on Fox, it creates this revolving carousel that allows WWE to entertain new audiences! It's almost as if WWE was handed a chance to jump back into the Attitude Era and are taking full advantage of it.
