October 25 Episode Of WWE SmackDown Moving From FOX To FS1 Due To World Series

SmackDown's moving to FS1 for next week.

It was announced during SmackDown that the October 25 episode of SmackDown will be televised on FS1 and not FOX. The reason for that is because FOX is airing the 2019 MLB World Series between the Washington Nationals and the winner of the Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees series.
