WWE is going to be much harder for the networks to pass on then LIV.    They are going to have some tough considerations.   My prediction is they end up on less dominant networks but that are all still accessible to US viewers.

LIV was pretty easy to pass on -- no brand history, none of the more attractive events in golf (majors), poor ratings for regular PGA events for non major golf (much less LIV events) and lack of buy in from equipment manufacturers and corporate sponsors who drive advertising for regular PGA events.

WWE RAW, Smackdown, Network, PPV's are all attractive branded financial properties even if they take some morality hit.   And even if RAW is really, really bad stuff even with some improvement under HHH.

WWE has a wider range of potential advertisers I think.  They will not get a grand contract like before, because some parties and advertisers will certainly drop out, I just can't see every party moving away from WWE.  So I think they will still get their 4 or 5 hours, may not be on network TV.

Taking morality out of the equation perhaps the Saudi's will finally stop the 3 hour RAW - which we know was financially driven -- and Saudi's do not appear to be as driven by return in their sports ventures.    In wrestling sometimes less is more.
