How Much Did Facebook Pay WWE For Mixed Match Challenge?

WWE debuted their new show Mixed Match Challenge earlier this year, which aired exclusively on FaceBook Watch. The series began in January and ran through the first week of April, and was a Mixed Tag Team Tournament which saw WWE Superstars competing for the chance to give $100,000 to a charity of their choice.

Dave Meltzer revealed on today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Facebook paid WWE around $100,000 per episode for the rights to exclusively air the Mixed Match Challenge series.

“I think they paid a little over — in the range of a million and a half, maybe a little less. A 100,000 or little bit over 100,000 [each episode] for Mixed Match Challenge, which was a 20-minute thing.”
