6 WWE Superstars that FOX reportedly wants on Friday Night SmackDown

#1 The Fiend Bray Wyatt

Despite FOX Sports wanting to brand WWE Friday Night SmackDown as more of a sports-oriented product, the show will continue to feature a healthy blend of entertainment given the very nature of pro wrestling.

In a report published back in November of 2018, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that FOX Sports wants to see "less comedy and more in a sports direction" for Friday Night SmackDown when the show makes it move next week. Enter The Fiend.

Bray Wyatt has been dazzling fans and pundits alike since debuting his new character of The Fiend, which is anything but comedic, and it looks like both RAW and SmackDown could enter a bidding war for the services of the multi-talented Bray Wyatt.

According to WrestleVotes, FOX wants The Fiend Bray Wyatt to appear on Friday Night SmackDown, given his recent surge in both status and popularity, but the move is not guaranteed to be happening if Paul Heyman has anything to say about it. Heyman, the current Director of WWE RAW, is reportedly very high on Bray Wyatt and wants him to remain on RAW following the roster draft taking place on October 11th.

Something nobody can deny: a person who works for FOX has directly told me, face to face, they would like Bray Wyatt on SmackDown. However, it looks like he’s going to remain on RAW, with Paul Heyman being a gigantic fan of his. Not confirmed, but we’ll see.
