Mike Ozanian of Forbes, has no clue. The WWE deal with Endevor is nuts and only potential of PLE being PPV again. WWE won’t get close to their current TV deal with anyone. Now imagina a brand like AEW that is lesser known and doesn’t deliver the numbers rhe WWE does. The writer is basing his number on a flawed dynamics of cable TV. Less amount of. Iddwrs for a TV property now
