So wait, will SmackDown still be live on Fox, or will it go back to tape? Also I assume it'll be on FS1 or something?

Looking at this prospective deal for Smackdown that must mean they're going to promote it like the A Show now.

Vince destroyed the liar's promo that made cm punk's career. not only does the big dog not kiss anyone's rear end but vince is a multi-billionaire and will just keep making more and more money every year from now until he dies at age 114

It seems like they wouldn't be able to keep from putting roman on network tv in my opinion. What they could do is keep him on both shows saying he's a free agent. Not sure if they would be able to say the hottest free agent because that's for when somebody left a contract elsewhere and signed a wwe one. But if anyone were to bend the rules...

~40 commercial spots per show at ~125k each is 5 million per, 52 shows a year at 200 million is 3.8 million per show so it seems like a good deal for Fox, the cost of buying ads on live TV ain't gonna go down on the other side of it I think I read that it costs about 900k for the WWE to produce a live show, plus you gotta pay the hands but I still think WWE making over 2 million a week to produce a 2 hour commercial for the network is pretty loving good love vince or hate him, the motherfucker is savvy

I imagine Ronda has to become a Cena-esque free agent now but besides that who cares, nobody on this roster besides Cena actually impacts ratings.
