“We are thrilled to bring WWE live programming to our members around the world. WWE RAW is sports entertainment, which is right in the sweet spot of our sports business, which is the drama of sport. We think of this as 52 weeks of live programming every week, every year, it feeds our desire to expand our live programming, most importantly, fans love it.
For decades, WWE has grown this multi-generational fan-base we believe we can serve and grow, we believe the WWE has historically been under-distributed outside of North America, and this is a global deal, so we can help them, they can help us build that fandom around the world, this should also add fuel to our new and growing ad business.”
