WWE issued a confirmation of the same moments after the announcement was made by FOX:

The destinies of WWE Superstars will be determined during a two-night WWE Draft taking place live on Friday Night #SmackDown on Oct. 11 on FOX and #Raw on Oct. 14 on USA Network.

To promote the SmackDown shift to the FOX Network, WWE and FOX also confirmed 'WWE on Fox Moving Company', which will see moving trucks visit different cities to hype up the premiere episode of SmackDown on FOX. It should be noted that the idea of having a moving truck for promotional purposes was first reported by Wrestling Observer in July.

It is interesting to note that RAW Superstar Becky Lynch is being advertised as part of the promotional material used for 'WWE on Fox Moving Company.'

A lot of importance will be given to amping up the ratings of SmackDown once the blue brand finds its new home and having one of the most popular Superstars on RAW move to SmackDown is a logical decision to achieve that goal.

However, don't expect too many changes to take place on NXT as the focus is solely on creating strong boundaries between the RAW and SmackDown rosters, as per Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue.

According to sources within #WWE, the next brand shakeup isn't expected to bring in sweeping changes because the previous shakeup was already made with a view to the #FOX move. There may be notable changes, but it's more to draw a line under the #RAW and #SDLive rosters.
