It does mean production costs are now coming out of their pockets but the new deal is worth almost double per year than what TNT was initially paying going by weekly production estimates.
The average Raw in 2016 was $880k. If you multiply that by 51, you basically get $45 million. Were they spending that much less on production than WWE would have been a few years ago? It feels like they've just moved the production coverage over to rights fees and given them an extra scheduled year in exchange for more content.

It's far from the worst deal ever, obviously, and it's a safe move by Tony Khan, but I think it's being hyped up to be a way bigger deal than it is.
