The Phenomenal AJ Styles delivers and equally phenomenal flying forearm smash to Sammi Zayn.

Will likely stay the same on Fox: Video packages and vignettes

Chris Jericho and his famous 'list' might not be in WWE at the present time, but this type of segment will likely be a part of Smackdown's programming.

Anyone who has watched pro wrestling since the mid to late 1980s will tell you that the show is not entirely wrestling for its whole run.

While pro wrestling matches will always be the centerpiece, the main attraction, the numerous skits, vignettes, and video packages that have become a hallmark of WWE programming. From Piper's Pit to the Highlight Reel, WWE has often utilized wrestlers for more than just wrestling matches.

Piper's pit, for example, often gave a platform to wrestlers who were struggling to get over with the crowd, while the Highlight Reel was basically all about stroking Jericho's ego under the guise of a talk show segment. These segments will likely remain a part of WWE's Smackdown programming despite the fact that Fox wants a more 'serious' presentation.
