Raw would lose out on a lot of money cutting back to 2 hours.

Wonder if this would hurt SD being live.

WWE would go broke doing that, no chance of that happening.

some people act like they are on WWE's payroll around here :mjlol:

new TV deals happen all the time - there is nothing new about it

I am glad if RAW can go back to 2 hours as that would make it more fast paced.

They really would go broke trying to air raw and smackdown on the network though fam. They have no where near the subscribers to support that.

Okay but what about DLC content? Like, if you want to watch a super exclusive match, you have to unlock tokens or some shyt.

WWE makes lot of money through merch and tours - tv deals ain't special any more when it comes to streaming services. it's amazing that people still watch Television - i don't blame them because true HD signals are dope. Let's hope the television industry moves to the IPTV world

Wow, FOX over the air, broadcast tv? That's big, I'd really prefer to have both Smackdown and RAW on the same network with Smackdown on Thursdays. One show being on FOX the other being on cable, how does that effect the brand split? But maybe that would present an opportunity to do two truly different shows.

And what about the World Series? I guess RAW would move to FS1 or FS2 those nights.

Interesting to speculate.

Y'all think a move to FOX would make them even more PG or less?
I don't think it would matter. WWE has reasons for going PG that extend beyond the channel they're on: attracting kids and families, thus making them more enticing to advertisers, getting certain sponsorships and deals, cutting down on violence to protect talent (even though they still get injured an awful lot lol), etc.
