Eric Bischoff Makes A Bold Prediction Regarding Raw & SmackDown Live

A fan recently asked Eric Bischoff the following question on Twitter: “What would be the business impact if WWE were to stream Raw & SmackDown Live solely on the WWE Network?”

Below is what Bischoff had to say regarding this:

“That’s the six hundred million dollar question (laughs). I think we’ll probably find out in the next 2-3 years if I was a betting man. I would bet that in the next two to three years we will find out what the business implications will be because that’s the direction it’s going. That’s a lot of television licensing revenue to walk away from but once the WWE Network reaches a critical mass that will support that decision I am almost certain that is what we will see.”
