    only AEW is close to WWE and it's still far back as far as income and audience - and the gap between AEW and the rest of especially American companies is astronomical. Hell even the gap in money between AEW and the biggest company in Japan is massive. just how it is

    impact isnt going against anything, they are irrelevant. there's little to zero cross over between fanbases. well maybe some with nxt because they are both cheesy ass shows

    100k is about what they get now I though , or I am mixing it for the ratings they had with Omega

    in fact there was only like 450k difference in total viewership between last RAW and last NXT lol

    NXT is already pulling numbers almost 9x what impacts highest ratings usually are. I don't get the joke

    stock went down 15% since the announcement and has not bounced back. seems bad? https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2023/09/21/tko-stock-plummets-after-wwe-smackdown-leaves-fox-for-usa-network-in-massive-5-year-deal/?sh=afd18c1375fc

    yeah was like a year or smth total - or basically until his AEW deal would have originally ran out?

    I believe by the time this switch to USA happens, Regal would be allowed on TV again. don't quote me though

    SmackDown Leaving Fox, Returning to USA Network after October 2024 — Plus, Four WWE Specials Coming to NBC

    yeah and I would have went like full on sports draft presentation with war rooms etc. problem was also you kind of need two GMs for that to work

    SmackDown Leaving Fox, Returning to USA Network after October 2024 — Plus, Four WWE Specials Coming to NBC

    I still feel like they could have made the drafts so much cooler though

    probably can end the brand split now too, which in hindsight maybe they knew this is where it was going and its why they been unbranding belts

    hopefully they better than AEWs BotB. but also maybe this motivates BotB to be better. Either way, more wrestling? yes please

    Makes a lot of sense. Will get ''lower'' ratings but having everything on USA just makes a lot of sense and the writing has been on the wall for a while that FOX wasn't going to give them the big increase they wanted. All three programs on NBC and PLEs on Peacock obviously makes sense
