During a recent appearance at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, TKO President Mark Shapiro revealed that WWE’s new deal with Netflix could be TKO’s best partner yet.
You can check out some highlights from the conference below:
On the partnership with Netflix: "Netflix, who could prove to be our best partner yet, is the real engine behind Raw, and by the way, much of what we're doing internationally. I've seen their promotion plan, the marketing plan, the way they're getting behind it, the way they're using the NFL holiday games to promote WWE Raw moving to Netflix. They are going to be a battleship when it comes to helping us grow our brand and grow our audience."
On the reach of WWE's PPVs: "Across the board, these PLEs are really exciting and there's one a month. People know them. Bash in Berlin, SummerSlam, obviously WrestleMania. I mean, these are major events that draw in a base that is much larger than a sports fan base," he noted. "It's a real casual sports fan. It's an entertainment fan. It's a lot of women. It's young. Very very young. And the engagement numbers and their social digital numbers for WWE are absolutely sky high."
Jey Uso wants a "full-blown" tag team run with Sami Zayn.
While speaking with Metro, the former Bloodline member revealed that he'd like a shot at a full-on run with Zayn at some point down the line. He said,
"I know we hated each other on screen, but we really love each other in the back. But it just came off on TV, so organically. You will have little glimpses of me and him on RAW but man, I really want to go like, full-blown tag team with him and try to see how that goes."
He continued, "One of the most best times of my wrestling career was that Bloodline, with Sami Zayn."
