• RAW & SmackDown Could Move To Netflix, Says WWE Co-CEO Nick Khan
During today’s Q2 earnings call, WWE Co-CEO Nick Khan revealed that the group of potential bidders for RAW & SmackDown rights has gotten more crowded, and Netflix could be a potential bidder in the future.
Below is what Khan said:
“On Netflix, we’ve been saying on these calls for many months that we believe Netflix is looking to enter the live space.
We got confirmation of that this past quarter when Netflix made a bid for the rights for Formula 1. We believe Netflix’s appetite for live (programming) will only increase after the introduction of their ad tier.
As we all know, the strongest CPMs are those sold against live programming.”
