WWE President addresses post-Wrestlemania plans, Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey
During an appearance on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan commented on Wrestlemania 37 and plans for after the PPV…
“So for this weekend’s event, 25,000 per night. 25,000 for Saturday, 25,000 for Sunday. It’s our first go back for our performers with fans in attendance. Everyone’s excited. From there, we’re not going back on tour yet, but we’re plotting out when we’re going to return. Once we return, there’s no going back. So, once we return, it’s going to be twice a week or with NXT, three times a week.”
As previously noted, WWE is scheduled to produce Thunderdome shows into early August.
Khan also commented on Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch…
“Ronda is going to be coming back at a certain point in time. Becky Lynch, she just had her first baby, she will be coming back at a certain point in time in the not too distant future.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co and Fightful.com)
