I saw someone say will WWE get on ESPN now....
On the ESPN app once the Peacock deal ends, maybe.
For their TV rights, no. ESPN's most valuable TV asset is the NFL, and they have Monday Night Football rights, which is arguably the most valuable asset across all of TV. They aren't giving that up to do Monday Night Raw. And I can't see WWE agreeing to a deal where they get bumped off ESPN to ESPN2 Same problem will happen with Smackdown going up against the NBA. NBA is always going to eat first over Smackdown.
Everyone making jokes about Ariel Helwani, but Matt Riddle probably gonna get fired too
I think we got Peacock for another couple years
The funniest thing is the average UFC fighter goes and gets their head bashed in for a hot dog and a handshake while the "fake" fighters make ten times as much as they do for worked matches
Endeavor is already publicly tradedAm I reading this right that Dana White would be reporting to Vince? If I'm Dana White I'd be pissed at this structure given UFC is more valuable and is seen as more legitimate. Also, with UFC being part of a publicly traded company, their books are now going to be open to more scrutiny.
Think they are locked in with Peacock until Mania 2026.
I think ever since they brought in Nick Khan for the purpose of eventually finding a buyer, he's come to terms with the fact he's old af and need to fall back.Wonder how Vince is going to handle having a boss to report to now.
My ufc nikkas. We live!
We finally about to get that Colby Covington run
