New month, new thread.
(This should be a very news-y week, so getting the thread up now before anything happens.)

Fox demanding stars and getting them could become an issue down the line I imagine.
Emp wrote something in last thread that has been on my mind for a few months...
I could see this being the break between WWE and USA. If Fox gets everything they want, they still aren't getting 3m consistently on a Friday night. Ain't happening. That deal will fade and then move to FS1 and then be cancelled when booking goes like it did tonight.
And now you run back to USA who is going to be in the driver's seat for the first time in a long time. Why? Because maybe TNT/AEW is up. Maybe there are other players at this point. Maybe they don't need the 1m viewers.
it honestly doesn't matter who's on raw, for the most part the same people will watch every week regardless of the talent.How are they going to maintain a hard brand split if they set a precedent that Fox can demand any talent they want once they get over.
And yeah. Why would NBCUniversal (owners of USA) want to play ball like this either?
I mean, it’s not like NBCUniversal can bump Raw to a smaller network and put something in its place on USA that’ll get the same numbers Raw does.
Friday is an awful night for wrestling, though. Honestly. I have no idea what they were thinking. They want to target 18-34 but they’re going to get the 35+ crowd.

pretty sure TSN dropped RAW for Monday Night Football. there was no stealing here. just an obvious desicion.
tsn dropped wwe after the live sex celebration.
Yeah and there has been nothing from tsn so far today.Speaking of TSN, deal with AEW must not be finalized as Dynamite is not showing on their schedule for Wednesday on any of the 5 channels.
