>>15939685WWE completely outflanked them, I'm afraid
- Took a below-market network deal for NXT on CW
- Returned Smackdown to USA (AEW won't be the only weekly pro wrestling on cable)
- Signed massive deal for Raw + Int'l Rights, collapsing foreign TV operator demand for wrestling
Go listen to some Meltzer podcasts, he's really senile enough to think AEW will slide right into the timeslots (at 3pm, at 2 in the morning) WWE is leaving behind in countries like Germany or Japan. Nope.
Came in, took a shit on AEW's head, told them to pound sand and C-walked right out of the door. Straight G shit.
