The month of May is usually a slow time for WWE, but not this week! There were two huge stories that really can't be considered good news. On Monday, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan went on Raw to announce that he had a neck injury that required surgery. He had the surgery on Thursday. While there's no official diagnosis announced, the expectation is that he'll miss at least one month of action. Will he still be WWE Champion? We don't know yet. There's an announcement expected on Monday's edition of Raw. The other big news of the week was that WWE's new TV deal was announced and the money they're being paid to stay on NBCUniversal isn't what they mentioned to stockholders. Vince McMahon said they were hoping to get double what they were making previously, but it didn't come close to that. Following the announcement of the new TV deal on Thursday, WWE's stock price went down around 40% on Friday and then a
Forbes article noted that Vince McMahon lost about $350 million due to the plummet of WWE stock. He's still extremely wealthy with about $750 million to his name, but Friday was clearly not a good day for WWE and McMahon himself. Most of us don't really care too much about what the stock market does, though. Whether it goes up or down WWE is still a very healthy company that is going to be around for decades to come. What matters is what happens on screen and that's what we're here to look at today. Like we do every weekend, it's Q&A time here at WhatCulture.
