Speaking to The Hindustan Times in India ahead of WWE’s
debut on Netflix in the country, WWE President Nick Khan
confirmed that the company is planning to run a premium live
event in India over the next two years.
“That’s the goal, and we’re pencilling out 2026 and 2027
now,” Khan told the newspaper.
Khan said that in the first meetings with Netflix, the
company was handed a list of their priority countries, with
India at the top of the list.
“If it’s important to Netflix, assume it’s important to us.
India has always been important to us,” Khan said. “So we’re
penciling it out now, and let’s wait and see.”
WWE is the second most-popular sport in India behind
cricket.
Netflix India will get their WWE fix starting on April 1,
with live Raw, NXT, Smackdown, and premium live events all
airing as part of Netflix subscriptions.
The streaming service has over 12 million subscribers in the
country.
