Smackdown Live will officially be moving over to FOX in October. The first episode will take place on Friday, October 4th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer noted that FOX is testing out new cameras and looking to bring in some big celebrities for the event.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about the debut episode of Smackdown on FOX:
FOX has been testing out two new cameras that they want in use for the debut show on 10/4. They are also looking to invite a lot of celebrities which is one of the reasons the first show will be at the Staples Center. They want to kick it off with a bang like it’s the equivalent of a big boxing match and the place for real stars to be at. The idea in particular, since AEW will be debuting the same week 99 percent, is to make WWE look as major league as possible and to thus, make AEW from day one appear to be like a minor league group
