- Sporting News has a story here about FOX being interested in securing the television rights for WWE when their deal with NBCUniversal / USA Network expires on September 30th, 2019. The move would reportedly see RAW cut back to two hours and move to FOX on Monday nights, while SmackDown would move to FS1 on Tuesdays. There have been no official talks yet, as WWE's negotiating period with the USA Network expires in the spring, however the report noted that FOX really wants the WWE TV rights.
"[Fox] is definitely trying to get [the WWE]," a source said in the story. "They'll pass on UFC, then use 'Raw' for [Fox Broadcasting] and FS1 content."
- NFL.com reported on Wednesday that Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots is expected to return to the league in the fall. It was noted that nothing is official. Gronkowski has teased retiring from football, and WWE is reportedly interested in signing him if he does. It should be noted that shortly after the NFL article was published, Gronk tweeted:
