RAW/SMACKDOWN TV DEAL COMPLETE
Posted: 061118

Vince Gets a Stupid Amount of Money and the Brands Get Split Across the Dial

According to The Hollywood Reporter NBC/Universal will bring back WWE Raw with a huge rate increase but will not renew WWE SmackDown. The rights deal will triple what the WWE has been getting. Possible homes for SmackDown were Fox, Amazon and Facebook but two days after the Raw deal was leaked out The Hollywood Reporter broke the story that WWE made a five-year deal with Fox worth $205 million per year. WWE was actually offered more for SmackDown but the network promised to push the show with ads during all their sports programming. SmackDown will begin airing on Fox in the fall of 2019 in a Friday night timeslot. It isn’t clear whether the show will be live or taped but WWE does house shows on Friday and I don’t think Fox is paying for a taped show.
