Quoted By:
>According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the ESPN deal includes a clause that allows WWE to reopen negotiations ahead of schedule if media rights fees continue to rise. The current agreement runs through August 2030.
>One factor that made the ESPN transition possible was WWE’s ability to renegotiate its arrangement with Peacock. WWE secured a reduced payout from Peacock through March 2026, in exchange for keeping NXT pay-per-views and the WWE video library on the platform. At the same time, Peacock locked in exclusive rights to Saturday Night’s Main Event through October 2029
So it turns out nbc made snme exclusive to peacock as a desperation move. Womp womp rovert.
