I agree there are people who will watch WWE weekly, either out of habit or because they genuinely enjoy what's on there. For a time, the company will be able to count on whatever those numbers are. But will a network, after seeing such a steep drop in viewers in a short time, be willing to pay a bunch of money for that?

Maybe the better question is: How significant will the drop in money be from their last TV deal?
USA has WWE now. They had the leverage to secure an NBC/Peacock deal from it too. USA wanted a third hour for SmackDown.

Netflix is not likely to tell them to fuck off lol. WWE are good at what they do. They’re content machines. Netflix let them put EVOLVE on Tubi and Worlds Collide on YouTube. They have content on broadcast TV, cable, free streaming and premium streaming. They have libraries to target different audiences through different mechanisms. They have the option of taking everything exclusive for big offers or diversifying their content for different revenue streams.
