>Fox wanted to keep Smackdown but couldn’t justify the current cost. They were losing money because of ads. It’s a joke but it’s true: WWE fans do not buy anything that’s not WWE-branded, so nobody wanted to advertise.
>WWE refuses to budge
>Fox walks away
>Fox approaches AEW about a show. They’d pay less than they did for Smackdown, but get better ad rates
>WWE gets wind of this, gets pissed, and is willing to negotiate
>Fox has moved on
>WWE starts leaking fast nationals for college football games to try and make Fox look bad
>Tony Khan met with Lachlan Murdoch and “bonded” over the fast national leaks, all but ensuring AEW gets on Fox
Details of this are leaking as we speak, im going to update as things go on. Big meeting today at Fox
