WWE’s Nick Khan did an interview with Sports Business Journal about his role as president and chief revenue officer in the company.
The mass talent releases over the last two years in WWE have been blamed on budget cuts, but many people have speculated that it’s due to Khan trying to set up the company to be sold. The article cited Khan stating WWE is not actively looking to sell the company.
“Khan said the company has taken some inbound calls from companies looking to buy. But he stressed that WWE is not in active conversations trying to sell the company and is not actively looking to sell.”
The article mentioned the big money deals WWE has made such as its $1 billion streaming deal with Peacock and the multipart documentary on the life of Vince McMahon.
