WWE's exclusive window to negotiate media rights with only NBCU and FOX has officiailly ended.
The window with FOX ended several weeks ago. As of this week, the window with Comcast's NBCU also ended.
What this is means is that it's now game on - WWE can negotiate with anyone beyond those entities, including Apple, Disney, Amazon, etc, in seeking to secure a new media rights deal for WWE programming in the United States for Raw, Smackdown and WWE NXT.
NXT's current deal with the USA Network ends this Fall, around September.
Raw and Smackdown's current deals with USA and FOX, respectively, end at the end of 2023.
We will see where the roulette wheel ends, but it's anyone's game now.
