WWE Negotiations With NBC Universal Includes Physical Hall of Fame in Orlando

WWE is negotiating with NBC Universal for renewals on TV deals for WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Netowrk and WWE Friday Night Smackdown on Syfy.

The deals are set to expire later in 2014, and NBC Universal has an exclusive window for re-negotiation that ends on February 1. After that, all networks would be in the running.

WWE is reportedly asking for more than double the current rate, or a $190 million per year package for the two shows.

In addition, NBC Universal has offered the company a physical WWE Hall of Fame in Orlando at Universal Studios as part of the package for renewal.
