I know they are going to be on Fridays now, but does this mean they still go live, since they historically always taped in Tuesday’s? I mean they can’t really go back to taped shows can they?

Fox didn't spend all that money to have a taped program

Yep, it's live on Fridays - the touring schedule will change quite significantly for it. Biggest example is the UK tour, where the two UK TV shows will be from two different cities for the first time.

Won't be that much of a change in touring, I imagine. They'll just be on the same road schedule as Raw now, right?

Fox didn't spend all that money to have a taped program But they spend a lot of money on The Simpsons and that's taped.  |

What's the commercial break sitch on Fox? Same as now with ads every 5 minutes? A different formula (ie. breaks BETWEEN matches like if it was a real sport) could really make SmackDown feel different.

So here's a thought - with the amount of money Fox are putting down for this, I wonder what sort of pressure they might put on the WWE to relax their house show schedule? At some point, Fox execs will realise that the wrestlers they've paid a lot of money to have on their channel are being worn down by putting on live shows for a few hundred fans, however many times a week they run them.
I imagine if Roman Reigns and one or two other high profile guys have to miss some Smackdown episodes because of injuries picked up at house shows, Fox will be unimpressed. USA are used to this by now, but Fox are a different beast in terms of network power and expectations.
