Several companies are circling WWE in order to secure broadcasting rights to the companies programming including Disney and Amazon.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that WWE’s new television rights deals could actually hurt the company’s stock price should they be deemed negative deals.
If the new WWE rights fees for Raw and Smackdown in the U.S. g for under $705 million, it will hurt the stock price. If it goes for significantly above that, it will greatly enhance that value. In addition, they are looking at involving more main roster talent in angles on NXT in order to build those ratings and make it a higher profile show with higher ratings and thus get a significant rights increase on that one.

We will have to wait and see how the media rights deals will effect WWE’s stock prices in the near future.
