If you're subscribing to the base account (Standard with ads) it's $7/mo. That'd take just under 6M subscribers brought in by the WWE to make up $500M in a year. Even if you were to suggest that half purchased standard with ads, and half purchased standard, no ads, that's an average price of $11.25 per subscription, which would require 3.7M new subscribers to make up $500M/year.
Less than 2M have watched RAW regularly in the US for years now. For reference (Because I dunno that Peacock can gauge how many subscribe exclusively for WWE content) the WWE Network had 1.5M subscribers in October of 2020.
Then you have to factor in that:
1. Some are going to say "f*** that, I guess I won't be watching RAW anymore."
2. Others are already subscribed to NETFLIX.
You are also just counting the actual money they spent for the shows rights, would not adding a big chunk of programming like this also cost money to be spent on digital infrastructures and bandwith and stuff like that? I have to think there is going to be some work involved in it
