WWE’s stock has reached an all-time high this year after it was announced that they had signed new TV deals with NBCUniversal to keep Monday Night Raw on the USA Network and Fox Sports to move Smackdown Live to Friday nights on the Fox Network. It’s expected that the stock will continue to climb as WWE increases their revenue streams. They are also getting big money from their shows in Saudi Arabia, a deal that extends 10 years.
WWE’s stock price opened at $90.11 today.
