WWE & NBCU Reach Deal To Keep Monday Night Raw On USA Network In Q4

-- WWE is set to begin their extremely lucrative long-term partnership with Netflix beginning in 2025 while their current agreement to air Raw on the USA Network was set to expire in October 2024. That brought up an interesting situation where Raw would air for the final three months of 2024 and the only comment WWE had made on the matter is that they were working through options and were confident a reasonable solution would materialize. Today, as part of their Q1 financial results press release, WWE revealed what those plans are.

-- According to the filing, WWE and NBC Universal have come to terms on a $25 million "domestic media rights" agreement that will see Raw air on the USA Network for the final quarter of 2024. This would effectively be a three-month extension that will then bridge the gap until Raw moves over to Netflix in January of 2025.
