Encore presentation of SmackDown to air tonight on Fox featuring special look at Crown Jewel

[Deezy]

It was a PPV that Vince asked USA if they could air a free Royal Rumble TV special to counter program it.

I'm sure Vince McMahon cared about that.

I really shouldn't have to considering it's a well-known FACT that it happened lol

Can y'all believe poor Vince McMahon had to take out free time on his Saturday to produce content bc Fox demanded it since they didn't have sports

Was the Red Sox vs Astros game tonight supposed to be on Fox? I’ll give them some what the benefit of the doubt but still some pretty wild timing

Still could’ve put something else there tbh tho. Vince probably made the offer. Two weeks in a row now. But just you know, a coincidence

Nah, Vince was def strong-armed like back in '88 with that Rumble

 

[Deezy]

Fox paying them more than for a rerun tbh.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Sports Games being cancelled is always a consideration. They definitely had a backup planned and didn't wait for the last minute.

So most likely Fox and Vince thought this could be a beautiful opportunity here to fill this slot with more WWE.

That said, no need to further to debate if it is or isn't. Just more "coincidental" counter programming, clearly.

Vince too poor to even be invited to a Bildeberg meeting, people thinking he can tell networks what to do

Yeah, "strong-armed." Not just "hey, we air like 5 of our programs on USA and they all do well, wanna air our free PPV on your TV."
