Networks in the running to secure the media rights to WWE RAW include Disney, Amazon, NBC Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, FX (owned by Disney) is currently believed to be the most likely network to get the show starting in 2024.

In regards to WBD being a possibility, Dave Meltzer wrote, “Regarding WBD which would be the game changer in many ways if it happened, the WBD version told to many this past week is that [WWE President] Nick Khan last went to WBD in October with a pitch and was turned down… Those in WWE constantly had WBD as a longshot for the reason they believed WBD owned a percentage of AEW.”

WWE reportedly wants the rights fee to be in the $387 million per year range.
