Earlier this week, it was reported that WWE COO Triple H and WWE CEO Nick Khan missed this week’s Monday Night Raw as they were in Los Angeles to held land a new Monday Night Raw TV deal. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a source at Warner Brothers Discovery, which currently airs AEW programming, the company turned down WWE’s pitch to them back in October. WWE is also said to believe that Warner Brothers Discovery is said to be a “long shot” to land Monday Night Raw.

The current leader is said to be FX, with Netflix, USA, Warner Brothers Discovery and Amazon Prime also in the running. WWE is said to be wanting $400 million a year for the broadcasting rights, though analysts are expecting the number to be around $387 million a year. It is not clear when a new deal will be announced.

The show has been doing well as of late. Check out what Monday Night Raw has been up to:

Opinion: The fact that WWE is able to come close to $400 million a year for one weekly TV show is insane enough, but the fact that they have so many suitors makes it all the more impressive. WWE might not be perfect, but they are basically a money making machine at this point. Monday Night Raw is going to land somewhere and WWE is going to make bank as soon as they do.
