WWE is under new ownership. This past April, it was confirmed that Vince McMahon had sold his sports-entertainment giant to Endeavor, the parent company of UFC. McMahon had been seeking to sell WWE upon his return to the company this past January as WWE’s television rights deals with NBCUniversal and FOX are due up within the next year, and he wanted to finalize a sale before moving forward with any broadcast extensions or new contracts. While WWE CEO Nick Khan has expressed a desire to continue WWE’s relationships with NBCUniversal and FOX, the company being in new hands makes its televised future all the more unpredictable.

This has led to fans speculating on what’s in store for WWE’s broadcast future.
