AT&T and Discovery both got f***ing Warner Bros and everything that comes with it, and both immediately went "Eeeeeh nah" after f***ing over several shows in the process, amazing stuff.

Ugh. Just ugh.
I wish everything from housing to healthcare to TELEVISION wasn't a capitalist hellscape.

I really don’t see this happening, largely because it would be too much consolidation of news media. This merged company would own effectively 2/3 of US cable news media, and 1/2 of major US news networks if you count the broadcast nets. Plus, while NBC isn’t a major name overseas, CNN is, and Comcast already owns Sky. So I’m thinking UK & EU regulators might take issue there. I suppose WBD could keep/spinoff CNN & their sports assets, similar to what Fox did when they sold to Disney, but I’m not sure a WBD news/sports company would have anywhere near the same market value as Fox’s news & sports assets.
(FWIW, I tried to keep my comments solely focused on the market and regulatory perspective. I hope I’m not veering into any politics territory here, and that no one else takes it as an occasion to do such.)

If this happens, I could see Steph (still feels weird to say her name as the CEO) simply reopening access to the WWE Network to US residents again and ending the Peacock deal (of course, that might cause them to lose the USA network contract as well, and there's no other cable network they could really go to).

It’s not going to Fox News/Business, and they sold off their general entertainment cablers (FX and the like).

At least Disney's not part of the merger. I kinda want that though. Seseme Street and Muppets back under 1 roof and a merged DC/Marvel cinematic universe sounds pretty good to me. Not to mention the host of new material for future KH games.

There was a secret consortium! Now I own 27% of the WWE and the other 73% is own by Verne Gagne's Force Ghost, Dan Aykroyd and Frank Welker!
I hope you like NXT Season 1-3. Because it's about to get very NXT Season 1-3 up in here.
