Is there a big shake-up happening in the USA Network?

The NBC Sports Network Station recently shut down, and the Sports Business Journal reported that NHL, Nascar, and the Barclays Premier League could find their new home in the USA Network - the home of WWE RAW and NXT.

That would be a massive move for USA Network, but given how big the acquisitions are, it means that WWE programming is likely to be affected in one way or the other.

Sportskeeda's Nithin Joseph wrote:

It is believed that NBCSN's Wednesday Night Hockey series moving to the USA Network could result in a change for WWE NXT, whose shows air on Wednesday nights.

PWInsider then speculated that RAW could be affected by the move:

In addition to this, it is also being speculated by PWInsider that weather delays could lead to NASCAR's Sunday programming being moved to Monday on the USA Network on occasion. This could have adverse effects on WWE's Monday Night RAW show.

We hope this isn't true, because WWE has arguably been among USA Network's most vital assets. With consistent ratings that cross 2 million, WWE shouldn't have their spot and timing affected.
