WWE is in an interesting position - for the first time, they've got both major weekly properties (Monday Night Raw, currently on USA, and SmackDown, currently on - ugh - SyFy) to shop in one deal. Prior to the existing agreement, Raw & Smackdown were shopped separately, as SmackDown had been an anchor on UPN/CW for a number of years before eventually migrating to SyFy.
Interesting, too, because WWE is getting ready to launch their own "network" (which isn't REALLY a network) in under a week, although that's going to have more of a bearing on their relationship with cable/satellite companies (see their current tiff with Dish over the next PPV) since a WWENet subscription will include all monthly PPV events.
