On a recent edition of “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” WWE President Nick Khan discussed what fans can expect now that WWE’s Vince McMahon and UFC’s Dana White will be operating in the same sphere as part of TKO.
The UFC and WWE merger became official this past Tuesday with the official launch of TKO Group Holdings.
Khan noted that McMahon and White’s synergy has positive potential, and he doesn’t see either of them getting involved in each other’s product.
Instead, Khan believes both Vince and Dana will be focused on coming together to make TKO the “biggest thing in the world.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On McMahon’s and White’s perspectives on each other: “So I think a couple things, when Dana put out a quote when this deal was announced, which was just after WrestleMania LA in April, Dana’s quote was something to the effect of I’m looking forward to working with Vince and team, Vince is a savage in the wrestling business, something to that effect. Vince is as complimentary about Dana.”
On the parallels Khan sees between both men: “Both single-parent households, both grew up without much money or resources, and both had to fight their way to the inside from the outside.”
