In response to "Does the deal explicitly preclude cancellation?" by the wrong element, bad guy

It's a five-year deal that required a lot of constraints on Fox's part. They had Disney money they were splashing around at the time.

It's a regrettable contract that they never ever never should have done. My understanding is that they can't cancel per se. Their only real play if/when ratings tank is to ship it to FS1 while still paying the $205 million annually. And they may have to give WWE more money to get them to agree to that.
