Because WWE fits in exactly with Fox's new business model.

Fox cashed out most of their assets in the sale to Disney. They are presenting live sports at a time when traditional TV is on its last legs. Love sports is generally accepted as the only bullet left in terms of the old model of watching something when it actually airs.

We think $1 billion is an incredible number, but that is over 5 years. They are basically paying WWE less than $1 million per 30 minute block of live Prime time television.

That is absolutely nothing compared to anything else they could air, and certainly not anything they could air live.

So they found something that can take up their Friday night's for $4 million. WWE will promote other Fox things on Smackdown the same way they now do for USA Network.

It all works in Fox's benefit, and WWE makes more than they currently do. It's a win win.
