In a recent appearance on “The Town” podcast, WWE President Nick Khan shared some insights into the negotiations between WWE and Netflix for the $5 billion media rights deal.
WWE Monday Night RAW will be airing on Netflix starting in January 2025. This will be the first time RAW will not air new episodes on a traditional television network.
Khan said, “We felt it was a robust marketplace. Once you’re in the room, you have a chance to get people to do things they might not always do. Once we went in for that initial pitch meeting, it was clear there was a path here. We didn’t give up that much money … I thought Netflix did not play around in the best ways.”
Khan added that the streaming giant made a “robust offer” and was willing to work out the issues between the two companies.
