FOX falling into the same trap as NBC years ago after USA Network convinced them to bring back RAW.
Not only did NBC get diminishing returns for RAW on USA Network but both times they expanded WWE programming to also be on their own network, it didn't last long due to sluggish ratings.
Even ESPN and their recent mini-deal with WWE quickly saw sizable declines each week.
WWE arguably pulled their biggest con job ever when they managed to fool FOX badly over SD becoming a more sports-oriented brand featuring Rousey and Lesnar to cater to FOX's sports fanbase. Even fooled them on the promise of SD getting a big Hispanic star to cater to FOX's Latino sports fanbase.
