**NEW YORK, NY** – The wrestling world is buzzing following news that Comcast is planning to spin off its NBCUniversal cable networks, including USA Network, in a $7 billion deal. This announcement comes as WWE is dramatically shifting its programming from traditional television to streaming services.

Already, WWE’s flagship show *Monday Night Raw* is slated to move to Netflix in 2024, while *SmackDown* relocated to Fox in September 2024, and *NXT* moved to The CW in October. With the planned divestment of USA Network, only *SmackDown* will remain on the cable channel after January, following a new deal struck earlier this year.

The implications of this major restructuring on WWE’s ongoing relationship with USA Network remain unclear. WWE and USA Network have not yet commented publicly on the impact of this development. This situation warrants close monitoring as it could significantly reshape the wrestling landscape. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
