6 WWE Superstars that FOX reportedly wants on Friday Night SmackDown

#4 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar

Part-time WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar will be returning to TV next week when he challenges Kofi Kingston for the WWE Title on SmackDown's debut episode on FOX Sports, but beyond next week, it remains unknown on which brand Lesnar will land following the WWE draft on October 11th.

Should Lesnar defeat Kingston for the WWE Title next week, it would seem likely that The Beast would become a permanent fixture of Friday Night SmackDown given the title win, but questions linger surrounding Lesnar's status - will he remain on RAW given Paul Heyman is the Director of the show? Will he remain on RAW because it's written in his contract? Many questions, few answers.

We do know, however, according to Slice Wrestling, that FOX Sports is high on Brock Lesnar being one of the faces of Friday Night SmackDown, as the network looks to brand the show as more of a sports product as opposed to an entertainment product.

"Another Big Name Being Mentioned As Possibly Moving To SmackDown When The Show Moves To FOX Is Brock Lesnar," reads a Tweet from Slice Wrestling. "This Is All Part Of The Plan To Give SmackDown More Of A Sports Like Presentation As WWE And FOX Continue To Make Big Plans For The Blue Show."
