Nick Khan addresses rumors about WWE possibly being sold

During an appearance on the Recode Media podcast, WWE President Nick Khan said the following in regards to the rumors that WWE is possibly going to be sold…

“We’re open for business on anything and everything. Even some of the business plans that we’ve announced recently are different and unique to what the company has traditionally done. We’re open for business. If somebody called, we’ll listen, but we’re not active or out on the marketplace trying to change that structure.”

“I don’t think Vince has any plans, nor in my opinion should he, of stepping aside. He’s 75, he’ll be 76 in a couple of weeks. He’s healthy, he’s strong, maybe he goes another 50 years and you’ll be asking me this in 49 years.”

Khan also said the following in regards to if AEW was considered to be competition…

“That’s the challenge for us, how do you get people to tune into our product instead of sitting there in their bed texting all night or watching TikTok for free or doing nothing or listening to a podcast. It’s always tricky. Personally, as an agent and executive, I never look at anybody as competition. I focus on what I’m doing. In the totality of circumstance, you have to look at everything as your competition without a specific focus on any one entity. We hope the NFL and NBA continue to get great ratings. What does it have to do with us? We have to make sure our product is great.” (quotes courtesy of Fightful.com)
