Many pro wrestling fans might say that there is already far too much pro wrestling on television. With AEW Collision crowbarring itself into Saturday nights, pro wrestling fans have little chance to live actual lives at this point, and WWE might add to that busy viewing schedule as well.
Considering the near-daily availability of wrestling content, it’s tough to envision the addition of any more shows. That being said, if WWE CEO Nick Khan has his way, fans might see a new show from the company.
At the inaugural MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, Nick Khan expressed his desire for WWE to deliver daily content, provided there’s a unique product to showcase each day.
“Ideally for us, we would go every day of the week, as long as there is a unique product we can put on the air and resonate. Something we’ve discussed internally; lucha libre, which is big in Mexico and Latin America, to start something like that down the road.
“This would be well after US and UK media rights are settled, the synergies are all in place and we have our legs under us with [TKO Group], that’s something that’s interesting to us, especially with the growing Hispanic audience in the US. We over-index in the Hispanic community already with our English content. To target that is something of interest for us.”
We will have to see if WWE adds this show to their lineup. They already have a ton of offerings for fans, and some of those fans might like a breather. Still, there are a lot of fans who might enjoy a weekly lucha libre offering from Vince McMahon’s company.
WWE has some big plans in the pipeline. It’s anyone’s guess what WWE’s weekly schedule will look like in a few years from now, or where they will air that content.
