So, Smackdown is leaving the CW

I'm sure another company will pick them up.

The things is, though, that not just any other network/channel/whatever you want to call it will do. They need one that has a decent amount of viewers or at least is available across most of America. Since I don't know much about America I'll almost leave it at that: getting on an NBC-owned network is probably their best hope.

And returning to Thursday would also be a lot better since that gives them a larger possible audience, not to mention I'd love to see any sort of ratings war between wrestling shows.

Edit: The news stories are everywhere, btw:
