Peacock President Excited About Future Of WWE Partnership

Peacock entered into a partnership with WWE back in March 2021. Looking back at their one year of working relationship, Peacock President Kelly Campbell is quite optimistic about the prospects of their collaboration.

Speaking with Vulture‘s Josef Adalian, Campbell talked about how things were working out with WWE. Obviously, Peacock is very happy with their investment.

“WWE has been an incredibly successful partnership for Peacock since launch. We invested in an incredible fan base that provides us the opportunity to bring those fans back time and time again with the massive live events that are part of the WWE franchise. We have WrestleMania, in fact, returning on April 3. This is already one of our biggest live events of the year.

“And we have an original series that I’m super-excited about featuring John Cena coming later this year called WWE Evil that I think will bring a fun new take on the space for this audience.”
