Ari Emanuel has some insight.
RAW on Netflix
Ari Emanuel is the CEO of both Endeavor and TKO, the company that houses WWE and UFC. He’s the businessman behind the deals for the WWE, including Netflix. Today, he spoke on the Pat McAfee Show where he was asked about the Netflix deal and confirmed that he sat down with Netflix executives originally looking to house WWE NXT on the streaming platform.
Ari then says that talks sped along and quickly turned into a deal between Netflix and Monday Night Raw, which is what we now have today.
The possibility of WWE NXT on Netflix would have changed the entire current landscape of WWE, which would’ve been interesting to say the least!
