— With WWE’s next Saudi Arabia PPV - Crown Jewel - scheduled for Thursday, October 31 and Smackdown on FOX the next night in Buffalo, NY, the company is going to be chartering a plane to move both talent and the production crew from Riyadh to Buffalo. This means that Smackdown will be a full-go show with the entire crew there despite the huge distance between the cities.
— Paul Heyman pretty much got all the wrestlers he wanted on Raw with the exception of Brock Lesnar, notes the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Lesnar being on Smackdown was thought to be an “executive decision” made by WWE officials as the person FOX really wanted, Ronda Rousey, is currently away from WWE and so Lesnar was their next top choice.
