WWE CEO Nick Khan provided some interesting new details regarding the company's outlook on Tuesday at JPMorgan' annual Technology, Media & Communications Conference from Boston, MA.
The conference featured some of the heaviest hitters in corporate America, including JPMorgan Chase Chairman & CEO Jamie Dimon, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and more.
Khan spoke at length about WWE's ongoing television rights negotiations. Raw is expected to remain three hours and they're currently exploring the possibility of making the third hour more 'adult themed.'
Khan added that WWE is open to moving Raw to a different night or expanding SmackDown to three hours if they received the right offer.
The current contracts with NBCUniversal and Fox are scheduled to expire in September 2024. WWE hopes to lock in the new longterm deals by the fall. WWE is just out of the 'exclusivity window' with Fox, so anybody can bid on SmackDown. NBCU still has exclusive rights to negotiate to keep Raw and NXT
Elsewhere in the talk, Khan said WWE is currently in talks to do more premium live events outside the Untied States in 2024 and touted the company's treatment of women.
