– WWE generated more revenue in 2016 than in any other year but due to increased costs, overall profits are still below the levels seen in the 1998 – 2010 period.
– Last year, WWE generated $729,216,000 in revenue ($33,725,000 in profits) compared to $658,768,000 ($23,927,000 in profits) in 2015, making it the company’s most profitable year since 2010 which is when they started pumping money into the WWE Network.
– Revenue numbers are expected to continue to increase year-over-year for the forseeable future and at least until 2019 due to both WWE Network subscriptions and guaranteed money from television rising.
