No deal between WWE and NBCU over television rights

WWE and NBCU did not reach an agreement on a new television contract before the exclusive negotiating period ended on Friday. "WWE's exclusive negotiating period with NBCU for our flagship television programs Raw and Smackdown has now expired," WWE said in a statement issued to Variety.com.

"While we were unable to reach an agreement with NBCU during this period, we have certainly appreciated our long and productive partnership. With year-round, live programming that is highly coveted by programmers, distributors and advertisers, we are extremely excited about our future. We look forward to engaging with potential partners who recognize the value of having the #1 show on cable and live content delivered 52 weeks a year."
