Nick Khan Thinks WWE Audience Gets Bigger With ‘Drive To Survive’ Type Documentary On Netflix
Nick Khan discusses extra benefits of WWE-Netflix deal.
On Tuesday morning, WWE and Netflix announced that WWE Raw will move to Netflix beginning in January 2025.
Appearing on Bloomberg TV, Nick Khan was asked if WWE audience’s would expand if Netflix produced a behind the scenes type documentary like they did with Forumla One.
“It would be a mistake by us at WWE to not do that with Netflix. Assume that what you said is exactly what we’re all thinking, we being Netflix and WWE, you saw what Drive To Survive did for Formula One, we think the WWE audience, already big on a global level, only gets bigger with a show like that,” he said.
When asked if WWE and Netflix would work on things outside of Raw, Khan replied, “Keep in mind, at WWE, we have a whole treasure trove of intellectual property that is largely untouched. If you look at what Disney has done, certainly that was through acquisitions with Marvel and Lucas Film; if you look at what Warner Brothers Discovery did when they acquired DC a long time ago, you now have this treasure trove at Netflix that is available to produce. So things like the Undertaker, characters that have been created over time, we’re looking forward to getting all of that with Netflix as well.”
WWE has produced Netflix special in the past with the interactive Escape The Undertaker being one of the more notable films.
While making the media rounds, Khan discussed WWE Raw possibly moving off of Monday nights. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
