In an interview with The Wrap, WWE President Nick Khan discussed the news that broke this morning which will see NBCUniversal’s Peacock become the home of the WWE Network in the United States beginning this March.

“Vince McMahon and the WWF at the time were the first movers from closed-circuit to pay-per-view in the early 80’s, the first mover in the sports entertainment space outside of Netflix to the SVOD model in 2014 and we believe the first mover again in this deal to partner with a massive conglomerate that has significant reach in order to serve our fans and expand our audience.

I’ll give you an example. Peacock is free in the 24 million Comcast cable and Cox cable homes, as I’m sure you know, so for the first time ever, WrestleMania, which is our SuperBowl, is going to be available for free to those homes. In addition to that, it cuts the cost four our consumers from $9.99 a month for WWE Network to $4.99 a month on the ad-supported tier of Peacock where they’ll get not only WWE, but English Premier League, The Office, Dick Wolf and so many other titles.”
