WWE lands on Netflix next month and the company is really excited about what it means for its future.
WWE Executive Vice President Chris Legentil was a recent guest on Sports Bussiness Journal’s Sports Media podcast. When asked about the upcoming move to Netflix in January, Legentil said they couldn’t be more excited and they are going to nail the transition to Netflix.
“We couldn’t be more excited,” Chris Legentil said. “One of the things that maybe goes understated is, obviously in the States, Monday Night Raw moves to Netflix. Outside of the States, all WWE content moves to Netflix. That’s Raw, NXT, SmackDown, Premium Live Events. That’s all going to Netflix. We see that as transformational for the business.
“This year alone, we did half of our Premium Live Events outside of the US. Look for more of that when we’re in partnership with Netflix because we’re going to be working with them hand-in-hand to select locations across the world where we can grow our audiences and hopefully gain subscribers for them.
“We’re going to nail this Netflix transition. In partnership with their team, who has been amazing. They’re excited about this product, we’re excited about this partnership. We think, together, we’re going to be able to deliver for both subscribers and WWE fans.” [H/T: Fightful]
