WWE SmackDown may have found a new home, according to new reports.
At the moment, SmackDown airs on USA Network, which is owned by parent company NBCUniversal, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, WWE is on the verge of completing a deal with Fox that will see the programme switch to that broadcaster from October 2019 as part of a new five-year deal.
Fox has seemingly nabbed the rights after NBC Universal declined its right of first refusal, in a deal that has said to be massive.

Of course, this isn't set in stone just yet, as both THR and a similar report from TheWrap both stress that the deal, reported to be worth over $1 billion, isn't official right now and both Fox and WWE have declined to comment.
Still, it would be a major move for WWE, so it's safe to say fans are pretty excited by the reports:
