Where does the WWE's largest stream of revenue come from?

[TransJenner]

i am genuinely surprised to hear that it comes from tv, because they put so little effort into putting on a quality tv product.

Truuuuuu

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

They run a lot of commercials during raw.

pretty sure wwe doesnt actually make money off the commercials that air during raw, the commercial time is just a part of their contract with the TV network

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

People like @Twitter keep buying the K-Mart belt

you keep buying authentic belts for each nfl fantasy season and never walk away with'em

yeah but they got tv contracts all over the world. although the majority of that money is coming from NBCUniversal which is just desperate to keep USA the highest rated cable network. if they cared about the quality of Raw that shyt would have never been brought back in 2005 and would have been cancelled in 2009.

Do you how much money it costs to run a commercial, it's crazy!

Even on shows with low ratings, the prices are still high.

 

[The Great One]

TV rights.

Live Events

Merch

Network.

In that order.
