During the Television Critics Association press tour, Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier commented on Smackdown Live moving to the network later this year. Here are a few highlights from what Collier said courtesy of Chris Hayner:
This is going to be a pretty big change, I think. WWE has turned their bigger shows into a "week" of events with TakeOver, PPV, Raw, and SDLive. Not really possible anymore. Plus what happens Mania weekends, when TakeOver or HoF would normally run Fridays?

#SDLive will remain live on Fox in the fall and there will likely be *other* WWE programming on Fox sports networks. #TCA19

"Short term, Friday night is going to WWE," Collier says when asked about Last Man Standing. That show could go elsewhere. But WWE being "short term" Fridays tells me they may move it around. #TCA19
