Monday’s RAW Expected to Sell Out, WWE Stock Takes A Hit, Negotiations with USA Network

– Monday’s Christmas episode of RAW is expected to be a sell out or at least very close to as sell out in Chicago, IL.

– After Vince McMahon sold 3.34 million shares of his stock on Thursday to help fund his new XLF project, the price for WWE stock dropped to $29.55.

– Dave Meltzer pointed out on Wrestling Observer Radio that The USA Network has had a streak of being the #1 overall cable network in prime time for the past 12 years. This goes without saying that the network is not going to give up it’s right to have WWE programming easily when the contract between the two expire in 2019.
