WWE returned to the road in July 2021, with Money in the Bank being their first full capacity premium live event since February 2020.

Around the same time, the company pulled the plug on its own Network in the United States and signed a deal with streaming service Peacock to air its monthly premium live events.

Nick Khan noted on the conference call that they had seen significant increases in viewership for their premium events through Peacock. Most notably, viewership for SummerSlam in 2021 was over 30% higher than SummerSlam in 2019. Incredibly, Crown Jewel in October 2021, viewership was up 75% compared to 2019.

It seemingly shows that the company's move to Peacock has so far paid off.


#3 WWE has a dozen scripted and unscripted content sold

Nick Khan made it known on the Q4 conference call that the company has a dozen scripted and unscripted content sold.

Where this particular content has been sold remains unknown, but it was noted that these would be announced soon. It is also unknown what type of scripted and unscripted work the company has created.

As we already know, there is a Vince McMahon documentary in the works that is set to be released on Netflix in the near future. Of course, with many, many streaming services out there right now, WWE should certainly not have a problem finding a home for their new content.
