Haha, I used to make a big deal about that. The WWE can send talent over to that show any time they want. If FOX wanted Rey Mysterio, Brock Lesnar or Charlotte (the only active talent in that promotional material you listed) on the show, they could have them. I doubt FOX really knows who any of the talent actually is. It's also possible that the WWE put those advertising packets together themselves. Yeah, it's fucking silly of them to promote people that aren't going to be on the show, but the whole thing with them is promoting the brand. You get WWE -- which includes stars like, yadda, yadda, yadda.
FOX knows what they got when they signed a deal to air Vince McMahon programming on their network. It's crazy to me that people think FOX must be sitting there, spitting in a rage while TNT is over the moon ecstatic with AEW and their shitty programming.
Tied for #1 in the demos again, I see. Funny how that doesn't come up when it's not Wednesday. I fucking hate defending WWE, but some of the fan perspectives on them is, frankly, markish.
If FOX was like "Hey Vince, we're going to cancel ya," Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio would be on there tomorrow, not that I'm sure the person making that call has any idea who they are.
