The money was guaranteed because that's what was in the contract. (There might have been a certain minimum threshold but that's probably set ridiculously low)

There was literally no new content for TV providers to show. No new shows were taping, no sports were happening. Shows were desperate for new content--at this point WWE was a godsend, because it was one of the few shows that was still taping at all.

Non News, TV usage was down in general, with no new content, not a lot of things that is driving you to the product. The key for WWE was how it comes out of the pandemic.
