WWE’s TV Rights Deal Negotiations Could Negatively Impact Their Stock Price

WWE’s media rights deals with FOX and USA Network for Raw and SmackDown expire next October. 

WWE is free and clear to talk with other networks with interest from Amazon and Disney. 

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports the new deals could hurt the company’s stock price if investors think they didn’t get enough money for their media rights. 

The report noted, “If the new WWE rights fees for Raw and Smackdown in the U.S. g for under $705 million, it will hurt the stock price. If it goes for significantly above that, it will greatly enhance that value. In addition, they are looking at involving more main roster talent in angles on NXT in order to build those ratings and make it a higher profile show with higher ratings and thus get a significant rights increase on that one.”
