>>4930888The WWE Network was a business model created so that WWE could pocket subscription & PPV money in a way that means they don't have to pay the talent. It was also a catastrophic failure and didn't hit the 1 million active accounts like they first projected, though they did indeed break over a million accounts but these were mostly trial accounts to get a free month of viewing. WWE later used this account statistic in its deal with Peacock because even if only 500,000 people switched to Peacock, that's 500k more than they previously had and as long as they maintain that number, they make back the billion dollars that they gave WWE for streaming rights over the course of a few years.
The rest about AEW I don't care for being it's just you coping, but for the record, AEW is only averaging 150k less than RAW in 18-49. 18-49 being the money demo.
