WWE-Spike T.V. Bad Blood?
By Scott Keith on 11 March 2020
When the WWE moved Raw from Spike T.V. back to the USA Network in 2005, was there some kind of bad blood and hard feelings over the whole thing? I can remember on the last Raw on Spike they were actually bleeping out the WWE's mentions of the USA Network, which I thought was a pretty petty thing to do on Spike T.V.'s part.
Yes, it was a very acrimonious split. In fact RAW was technically cancelled by Spike with the deal coming to an end just to really twist the knife. Viacom pretty much felt that WWE wasn't keeping up their end of the promised ratings and there were other issues as well.
