Nick Khan Comments on WWE’s Goal to Host Flagship Show in India in 2026 or 2027

The Hindustan Times held a recent interview with WWE President Nick Khan. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about WWE’s current goal to host a flagship show in India in 2026 or 2027.

“That’s the goal, and we’re pencilling out 2026 and 2027 now. In one of our first meetings with Netflix after the deal was signed. Without asking, Netflix handed us a list of their priority countries. At the top of that list was India. And knowing that the race would come into play on April 1 in India, if it’s important to Netflix, assume it’s important to us. India has always been important to us. So we’re pencilling it out now, and let’s wait and see.”
