Wrestling news outlet SEScoops has retracted its story reporting that ESPN would not be renewing its contract with WWE when the current agreement between the two companies expires in 2030.
"Before a story like this runs, the subject deserves a direct chance to respond, and that step wasn't taken to the appropriate standard," SEScoops said in a statement posted to social media. "Since publication, it's come to light that this effort fell way short. We ran it and the buck stops with us."
SEScoops added that it had "parted ways" with BJ Bethel, who wrote the report.
