Sources say that WWE RAW is most likely staying on the USA Network, according to The Hollywood Reporter. According to the report, NBCUniversal is said to be close to renewing the deal for RAW at three times its current value.

As for Smackdown, WWE is searching for another network after NBCU declined to renew the deal for the show. There’s been speculation that SmackDown will move to FOX. NBCU paid $30 million for the SmackDown franchise in 2010.

WWE and NBCU both declined comment on the negotiations, which are still underway.

WWE's current deal with NBCU expires on September 30, 2019. They had publicly stated that they plan to announce their U.S. distribution plans by September. WWE's current contract with NBCU generated $180 million last year.
