WWE President Nick Khan has talked up the prospect of bringing a premium live event to India.
He was speaking to The Hindustan Times ahead of all WWE programming moving to Netflix on April 1st in India.
When asked about the prospect of a PLE in the territory, Khan said:
That’s the goal, and we’re pencilling out 2026 and 2027 now. In one of our first meetings with Netflix after the deal was signed, without asking, Netflix handed us a list of their priority countries. At the top of that list was India. And knowing that the race would come into play on April 1 in India, if it’s important to Netflix, assume it’s important to us. India has always been important to us. So we’re pencilling it out now, and let’s wait and see.
The last time India hosted a significant WWE event was in 2023, when a ‘Superstar Spectacle’ took place in Hyderabad. The show was later broadcast on Sony Sports Network, WWE’s then TV partner in the country. Prior to that, WWE had not visited the country since 2017.
