So, SmackDown Live has a new home on FOX from October this year, but there's more to it. FOX had made it very clear to WWE that they want a big name in their ranks. A certain Ronda Rousey.
Now, we know for a fact that Ronda Rousey will not be a part of WWE for the foreseeable future considering that she's made it quite clear that she wants to start a family with her husband, Travis Browne. In fact, reports are indicating that it could be next year before she returns to action once again. Which means that when the FOX deal comes through, they may not get Ronda Rousey.
Which is why WWE may need someone like Roman Reigns to man the fort until her big return. Reigns is a mainstream name and FOX will be happy to have him on board.
