Three separate billion dollar deals but employee status and health insurance is still a bridge too far.

They were airing old WWE ppvs this last year to fill time w/o sports and would break exclusives on ESPN dot com about WWE news sometimes, nothing major tho

How does the NFL handle allowing games on other networks to be mentioned?
I know WWE will obviously be able to promote ppvs but I wonder how much FOX will let them promote/advertise Peacock |

WWE has a long history of thinking it's not a huge deal if their stuff is being shown on competing networks. They've been that way since 1984 when MTV showed the Brawl to end it All. USA Network was mad about that one.

Vince McMahon knows how to strike up a fucking deal. AE-Who? Lol at people in this thread thinking this is a bad thing. This is GIANT for them. It increases their visibility so much. Peacock isn’t international (right now), but I might actually end up with access to old PPVs because I would get it if it were.
The deal is worth so much because WWE is going to bring over with them a certain amount of traffic and those viewers are going to use the app for other reasons, some of which will have more valuable ad space. |

Not all that long ago, WWE was able to get over a million people to spend $60+ to watch WrestleMania. Now it’s basically free and they’ll probably get roughly the same amount of people to watch. Insane to think about.

Only if you get Peacock premium for free with like Comcast cable or whoever that is.
The big confusion is they call their $4.99 version Peacock Premium but it's not their highest tier. $9.99 is their highest tier, which is ad free. So they have: 1. Free 2. Premium 3. Ad Free Something like 24 million of those cable subscribers get Premium for free, but they can still pay $4.99 to get as free. If 5% of those people watch Mania, that would be a homerun for WWE. Peacock also has what I read was 26 million paying subscribers not including the above mentioned 24 million. Again, if 5% of those people decide to watch Wrestemania, between both groups that's an extra 2.5 million U.S. Viewers watching on top of the actual Network subscribers. It is not out of the question that Wrestlemania could be watched by 4 million domestic viewers. |
