A new trademark filing may reveal the name for the Fox Sports 1 studio show that is scheduled to debut on Tuesday night’s beginning this October.
The company recently filed for the “WWE After The Bell” trademark.

It looks like Fox will be all in with WWE programming. SmackDown Live begins on FOX on October 4 and the studio show is believed to be starting sometime in October on Tuesday nights on FS1. WWE is also in talks to bring NXT to FS1. If a deal can be made then NXT would go head-to-head with All Elite Wrestling’s show on TNT, which is believed to be slotted for Wednesday night’s from 8-10 pm.
