One of the biggest shakeups in WWE will come this October when SmackDown will move to the Fox Network. A highly lucrative deal, this will mean the blue brand will move back to Friday nights, though there have been questions about where on Fox it would end up.

According to Bryan Alverez who spoke on Observer Live, it seems that SmackDown will end up on FS1, though the WWE should also consider themselves lucky that the deal was signed when it was.

Alverez said how the billion-dollar deal which has been etched out between WWE and the Network would never get such a high-figure deal with the show's current numbers.

No matter where SmackDown ends up, expect some huge changes to happen before the Blue brand moves to it's new home in October.
