One of the hottest topics in the world of WWE is going to be their next television contract. Their current deal with NBC Universal expires in September 2019. There have been some rumors that WWE could be making some serious cash on their next deal.
Matthew Belloni of the Hollywood Reporter provided an interesting update on WWE’s next television deal.
According to him, NBC Universal will be keeping RAW but will be letting Smackdown Live go to another network. The deal to keep RAW with NBC is also reportedly 3 times higher than the current value:
Interesting tidbit among all the TV news today: NBCU is letting WWE SMACKDOWN go to open bidding. They’re keeping RAW but the deal is so big (3x current value, I’m told) that they’re not re-signing both. Big sports opportunity for another network.
