Also FOX supposedly wants to keep Smackdown as a wrestling focused show, like its been for both Brand Split eras, to help make it more marketable to their sports viewers.
If they had to choose one, I think they'd go SmackDown, but they don't have to choose one. She'll probably end up slumming around on both. I mean, they probably name-dropped her in USA meetings too.

They can try and make SmackDown as "legit" as they want, but Ronda's star power has been dropping since heading to WWE, from what I've read, not growing. I mean, I like her and think she's done a fantastic job in everything I've seen her in, but Joe Average probably thinks she just went to play fake wrestler after failing at real fighting.
