1. FOX is unhappy with WWE

WWE signed a billion dollar deal with FOX network when they decided to move Smackdown on FOX. After few months, pandemic happened and it changed the pro wrestling world drastically. WWE ratings plummets to a new low and we witnessed some of the lowest viewership records in the history of WWE. Finally, live crowds are back and ratings have been started to rise but the rise is not like that FOX wanted.

Fightful has reached out to several close to the WWE/Fox relationship after being told in July that the relationship between the two sides was strained.

A source from FOX reportedly “admitted that the WWE viewership was disappointing in comparison to expectations.” Now, we just have to wait and see what WWE will do to please FOX. Recently, some of the reports claimed that WWE President Nick Khan was backstage during Friday Night Smackdown and they hold a top level meeting with Vince, Khan and Stephanie.
