The one thing Netflix is really bad at is content hubs. I hope they figure this out so that it's easy to surface WWE content. I did not expect this though - I actually thought ESPN+ was going to be the next play, but good for Netflix for opening the checkbook.
Could not talk about this before, ESPN did talk with them ( remember, Endeavor/TKO, who know owns the WWE, has a deal with ESPN and the UFC) but decided against it, too much $$$$, they have some big contract renewals coming up, have to be able to pay for that, mostly College Football Playoffs and the NBA, which they need for daily programming.
Now, I had no idea Netflix was going to pick it up or that it was a possibility the WWE might leave Peacock in 2 years, but that would not be a surprise, WWE will want more money from Comcast, to air on a service that , in my opinion, will still be losing money for at least 2-3 more years.
Plus the fact that Comcast is still $94 Billion in debt and losing per sub fees from their Network/Cable Channels and the 500,000-600,000 video subscribers that leave every quarter.
Sooner or later, they also need to cut back, not just streaming, but from everything it owns.
