As we’ve been reporting for a while now, WWE is shopping their TV
package around to networks since their deal with NBC/Universal expires this
year. We touched earlier this week on the fact that WWE’s presence or lack
thereof at the NBC/Universal Upfronts tomorrow could be a big indicator of
whether the two companies stick together, as the lack of involvement would
suggest that the company won’t be on USA, E! and SyFy’s fall schedules.
Well, today we have a big indication that they will be working
past the October contract end date, as the Bellas posted the following to
Twitter:
Here in
NYC for the #NBCUpfront
Us Bellas will be takin’ over the red carpet tomorrow! #TotalDivas

NBC/Universal has retained the right to match any offer thrown
WWE’s way, which gave them an edge in the negotiations over other potential
networks.
