Interesting problem to have.
Like i'm sure Fox didn't just start looking at the ratings since the offer came up...the history is there
WWE sometimes sugarcoats things when it comes to viewers. Like in the first brand split, they'd saw WWE is watched by 15 million viewers in America every week but all they did was combine RAW and Smackdown's viewership like there was no overlap.
Wouldn't surprise me if they sales pitch was that WWE garners 6 or 7 million viewers every week while acting like RAW and SD have separate audiences.
hand the keys of your billion dollar show to this man brehs...

No chance of that, Fox wanted Raw at first but USA gave WWE what they wanted during the exclusive negotiation period. Thus Fox went into negotiations for Smackdown. Around the time WWE signed this deal, Fox aired a Meghan Markle special and Master Chef, junior in the time slot and got between 3.5 and 4 million viewers. They think it’s feasible that a weekly live smackdown can match that. If it does, Smackdown will be as is.
how many times have they ended the brand split?
I thought everybody was enjoying smackdown here lately![]()
This will be the sixth time WWE have destroyed it, and WWE have become exceedingly efficient at it, pal!
