Hello everybody, welcome to this, your afternoon news video on this one, we're gonna talk

all about WWE nearly being sold to Fox, which WWE started Brock Lesnar refused to wrestle.

We have a backstage update on Jade Cargill's AEW TBS title, and a medical issue triggers

a huge car change for AEW, this is the afternoon news.

Yes, yes it is.

Let's talk about WWE getting sold, which is someone we've spoken about.

I think several times over the past 12 months, I don't believe WWE's up for sale,

I'm supposed to be up for sale, however, we've got some words here from Freddie Prince Jr.

on his wrestling with Freddie podcast, of course, Freddie Prince Jr., as well as being

an actor, was a right tour for WWE for a considerable length of time, so he's got some inside

knowledge.

And now on one of these podcasts, he's come out here, and you know, he's been told by

somebody, one of his friends who works as an executive of Fox, the Vincent Gans asking

price was too high, but Fox did look to buy WWE, they came out here and said, yo, give

me the company, and in the end, they ended up obviously with the rights to smack down

on Friday nights, they knocked back the chance to pursue this full time purchase, and instead

decided they were just going to license smack down, which cost them a pretty penny itself.

So you know, there's always chatter on various companies buying WWE, I think recently it

was Disney, wasn't it?

Yeah, that'd be an interesting one, you have Marvel and WWE kind of fizz together onto

the Disney umbrella, you imagine a Disney theme park with all wrestlers.

I'd be into that.
