Official Announcement - September '19

 

LOS ANGELES – SmackDown moves from Tuesdays to Fridays beginning Friday, Oct. 4, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on FOX, but WWE fans can still get their Tuesday night fix with FS1’s WWE Backstage, television’s only studio show devoted to all things WWE.

 

The hour-long weekly show offers viewers the latest WWE news every Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT, beginning Nov. 5 on FS1.

 

Longtime WWE broadcaster Renee Young and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T weigh in on the biggest stories in WWE, and are joined by a rotating cast of guests and personalities, including current and former WWE Superstars.

 

Ahead of WWE Backstage’s Nov. 5 debut, FOX Sports offers a special preview of the show on Tuesday, Oct. 15, following the conclusion of the ALCS Game 3 on FS1. Young and Booker T are joined by special guests to reveal the WWE Backstage set at the FOX Studios Lot in Los Angeles, and to break in their brand-new ring.

 

“WWE Backstage is a wrestling show for wrestling fans. From hardcore fans to people new to wrestling, we’ll give them a little bit of everything,” Young said. “It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be loud, we’re going to give them a ton of opinions and I can’t wait to help spread the word about SmackDown coming to FOX.”

 

Young will be joined by the two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T, for analysis.

 

“It’s awesome being part of the FOX family and part of this movement of Friday Night SmackDown to FOX,” Booker T said. “FOX Sports has always been the one-stop shop for sports and now it’s going to be the one-stop shop for sports and entertainment. I think this is going to be a tag team that’s going to last for a long time, and one that cannot lose. As I always say, now can you dig it, sucka?”

 

More information on WWE Backstage, including additional on-air personalities and special guests, will be announced at a later date.

Preliminary Announcement - April '19

 

 

Appearing on FS1’s “First Things First,” Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE’s Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, revealed that in addition to SmackDown LIVE premiering on its new home on Fox on Friday, October 4, FS1 will be the new home of a Tuesday night studio show that will cover all the happenings in the WWE Universe.

 

"If you are a WWE fan across the board, this is the show that will be 'can't miss'," Triple H said. "Because it's going to talk about everything you love in a way that you can't get any place else."

I thought Fox News and Fox Sports was seperate?

 

Nah...pretty sure it's all the same.

 

Disney bought the rights to 21st Century Fox, FX, etc. But, anything that still has the straight up "Fox" branding is still fox affiliated...be that Fox news, Fox sports, or the standard Fox channel. I'm like 99% sure of that.

Pwi is rapporting that

 

Numerous WWE sources have confirmed to PWInsider.com that former WWE Champion CM Punk was at FOX Studios earlier this week in Los Angeles meeting for a potential on-air role for WWE Backstage, the new FOX Sports 1 studio show that will debut on the cable network on 11/5.

We are told that Renee Young was also present and that Punk did some test on-camera material. We have not confirmed that Punk has signed on for the series.

WWE Backstage is being produced by FOX, not WWE, so should Punk land on the series, which will air weekly on Tuesday nights, he would not be technically working for World Wrestling Entertainment. Punk exited WWE in January 2014 but noted last month at Starrcast 3 that he wouldn't "not take a call" from World Wrestling Entertainment if they called to speak to him about a potential return in some form to the company.

 

OMG !!
